Default Nismo Sports Horn

Does anyone have this sports horn? I am trying to find some info about it. Would i be able to install it or would i have to take it to a shop/dealer? The the horn really loud? I really hate the stock horn so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I don't have one but they are easy to install. You can see where it goes when you pop your hood. Anything has to be better than the stock horn. I don't even use mine.

Default Sport horns........

Reggi - Just installed mine last week....simple install - one bolt on each horn and 2 electrical connections on each - bolt on and connect just like stock horns. The sound is definitely an "import" sound versus the "domestic" stock sound (my buddy said the stock horns sounded like they were for a Buick Roadmaster - ha!)...the new horns have a much higher pitch / tone & are not as loud. Hope this helps..........

you can only have one horn per butt dyno (there's only one hole).....so, were these numbers corrected for atmospheric conditions, temp, etc..., how many runs did you end up with, and how many db's did you register....also, what was your a/f ratio?

Ugh. I think I'll trust to JC Whitney for a good loud horn. For example, this:

I installed these horns in my Z32TT and was very pleased with the sound. I'm sure they can be had for less money than shown here.
