Default Anyone Install the 350Z Sport Horn???

I purchased the 350Z Sport Horns from Courtesy Nissan (www.courtesyparts.com), but I didn't view the instructions and they require you to remove the nose of the car. I don't want to do that.

Has anyone installed them anywhere else? Did they meet your expectations? The stock horn(s) really is wimpy and can't be heard over traffic or road noise.

Any advice is appreciated.

hey dude i justed installed them the other day and i didnt want
to remove the bumber. If you have thin arms you can reach the
bolts pretty easy. I took me about 30 minutes the horn sounds
pretty funny but i like it.

The stock horns sound cool enough? Like an airhorn

The Nismo horn is louder and has a higher pitch to it. While I think that I like the sound of the stock horn better, the Nismo horn is better at getting people's attention.

Agree, the tone is higher and not as good. But the ones from Curtesy look good...

I had to take the bumper off for side markers, so installing the horns was bolt, wire, wire bolt and done...

You must have EXTREMELY thin arms otherwise...

Can you see the horns from the outside, or is it strictly engine dress-up?

Nismo is coming out with a horn that does not require the removal of the front bumper. It also does not require any type of electrical hook up.

Jason, will you be carrying these?

While they are not as loud as the stock Buick sounding horns, they do sound very good. A European style high pitched horn.

You dont have to remove the front bumper and it helps to get the front end off the ground. I installed 2 sets in about 30 min using a lift and some shorty wrenches. It’s a bit blind, but it takes no time at all if you are good with your hands in tight spaces.

I have them.

I had to remove the bumper.

It would be possible to install them without bumper removal, but it'd be pretty hard and you'd have to be very skinny.

Sounds nice.

Jason.......sorry to hear you were broken down. Did you have a loaner car still? That was a long tow.........Valencia to Duarte......over 40 miles. I have the worst time with pics from Image Station. Sometimes they work, sometimes not. The pic was a joke anyhow.
