I found them here

^ 2 horns $65.90 shipped. I didn't shop around, but felt this was decent.
I installed these on my lunch break (well my bumper is off at the moment)

don't mind all the other electrical stuff...it has nothing to do with the horns

they both fit in the stock locations with the stock bumper cover.

Hehe - I pioneered this one :). I was wanting up upgrade the horns on my car, and one day realized that my wife's '95 Nissan Quest has some really decent sounding horns. Picked up both of them at the junkyard for like $2, put them on, good to go.

The '93-98 Nissan Quest and Mercury Villager are the same vehicle, there's usually a few at the junkyard, as they made a zillion of them. Most of them I've seen have already had the front bumper off - walk up, one 10mm bolt and one plug, and you have some horns.

Never thought me buying a Nissan Quest would result in an FD mod :).

well then, thank you DaleClark ;)
If I didn't feel so damn busy all the time for no good reason, I should have made a trip to a local yard.

TRISPEEDFD3S 03-22-07 02:29 PM

Damn, sounds like a freakin BUS HAHA!

dubulup 03-22-07 02:41 PM

yes...the stockers are very wimpy in comparison, and probably get muffled more with the cover on. I remember being in the cabin and barely hearing the stockers over road noise...I think these are high enough pitch to be heard over anything out there :D

TMadlem84 03-22-07 02:42 PM

Good find... next trip to the junk yard I'll be looking for some :)

darktritium 03-22-07 02:45 PM

Damn those things sound loud!

Yah, can't beat an FD mod for $2.00 (approx before tax). :)

TMadlem84 03-22-07 02:48 PM

^^ Which we need... I've had people try to run me off the road before (b/c they didn't see me or look close enough...)

dubulup 03-22-07 02:53 PM

^ Haha... I forgot about that!

Monkman33 03-22-07 04:17 PM

I want to hear damian's setup. and see how he has everything plumbed.

^^^HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! those incredible..... I started thinking the same thing after I bought my FD (horns sucked) and looked into doing the air horns but thought it was overkill, although hilarious, and I also couldnt figure out how to mount all the equiptment. That is some quality stuff...

Anyways, the quest horns sound like a good upgrade....

HKNY 03-22-07 04:48 PM

haahah sounds good

GoodfellaFD3S 03-22-07 04:50 PM

I ended up relocating the driver's side horn b/c it can be seen through the oil cooler opening with the 99 spec front bumper. Was able to mount them both using stock threaded bolt holes, and using stock wiring.

Let it be noted that in my recent thread with install pics, I made sure to give big Dale his due credit ;)

I figured that's why you put it there...I hate seeing the stock horns thru the 99 bumper covers. I wonder if Mazda placed the horns in different locations for the "harmony" ever hear just one horn?? pretty quiet...I smashed one on a bumper install.

I must have missed the credit to Mr. Clark :doh:
I knew people were asking about the tone, so I figured I'd posted it up.

Mahjik 03-22-07 04:57 PM

Ok... I saw "Soccer Mom" and "Sound inside". I didn't know whether to click on it or to delete it! ;)

dubulup 03-22-07 05:02 PM

but didn't you see who posted it :p:

XxMerlinxX 03-22-07 07:23 PM

There are some MASSIVE horns at Advance Auto that I've been thinking about getting. I may do this tomorrow since the guy at the desk said I can bring'em back if I didn't like'em.

RE-Amemiya 03-22-07 07:28 PM

Def. sounds better!

cptpain 03-22-07 08:31 PM

i like the sound the VW horns make more specifically the jetta, not the new body but one generation older

GoodfellaFD3S 03-22-07 10:09 PM

Jettas blow goats. Garbage cars.

Railgun 03-22-07 11:02 PM

Hmmm...I did a similar upgrade last year, but may one-up Damian with the three horn deal they have. :D
