Nice detail

Im wondering if I have to disconnect my second horn on my 08' Si.

Im planning on running the included relay, so there wont be any power issues.

Maybe the third tone would help too...

...or maybe you wont even be able to hear it, lol.

Great work on documenting this mod !! I have purchased my Bad Boy horn and I am going to do my install in about a week!! Stupid drivers beware !!

gturner24 · 02-28-2009, 06:10 PM

Thank you to TigerDave, bee-man, anavrin351, Rawhyde, BigT and Soichiro Jr for posting all of the great detail on this DIY project.. It couldn't have went any better for me, I never touched the directions and I also installed the relay too. I will be looking for my next project soon. (Rims should be easy) The results? I freaking love the sound of my new horn!! To more little girl horn for me.. Thanks again to everyone who helped.

SlightInterest · 02-28-2009, 06:15 PM

Very good pics and tutorial! But, OMG that's a lot of work for just 1 horn. I remember doing that on my truck and nothing needed to be taken off, just horn.

So what is the purpose of this horn install? Have you seen Hornblasters on youtube? Hahahahah!!

08 black si sedan · 02-28-2009, 06:24 PM

where is some good horns and cheap . and royer366 the video was awesome lol . and great diy

SlightInterest · 02-28-2009, 06:27 PM

I found decent horns at walmart or pepboys. I'm sure better ones can be found online.

08 black si sedan · 02-28-2009, 10:31 PM

^^^ nice thanks

gturner24 · 02-28-2009, 10:41 PM

I found mine on ebay for $43 shipped to my house... The only difference is when you lock the doors with the remote, the horn gives off a muffled little sound vs the little girl scream... plus the new horn will get attention, make your car unique and stop idiots from backing into you at the starbucks drive thru.. maybe.

TigerDave · 03-02-2009, 01:19 PM

Glad to hear that my DIY is still working well for you guys!

I still can't believe how pathetic the factory horn is (my girl still has her '07 EX). I keep pestering offering her to let me swap it out.

rondecrew · 03-17-2009, 04:18 PM

hhahah Bad Boy

sagaboy · 03-26-2009, 11:51 PM

very nice thread

tommysnake · 04-03-2009, 03:24 AM

Thanks a whole lot this is a great and where I'm concerned a necessary DIY. I bought a cheap second horn to add to the existing one from "Crappy Tire", then I returned it because it didn't sound right. Then I purchased a two horn combo but it wasn't loud enough, you where right you NEED a relay otherwise any horn will sound like crap. After a week I finally realized that the horns were still too wimpy than i bought the Bad Boy. And Boy do I love it now I can't wait to honk at people. Anywho here is how my DIY looks like I didn't take the bumper off for any one of he installs but looking back it would of helped, but here is my mounting solution it you don't want to take the bumper off just the fog light.

Thanks again absolutly a fantastic DIY glad you put it up!!!

p.s: don't know why but i can;t up load my pics I'll try later.

tommysnake · 04-03-2009, 03:29 AM

not the pics i wanted but the only ones it would let me upload.
