When doing the horn to a simple replacement is it just a matter of splicing wires? I kinda want to put in something less....well....stupid (to say the least)

Same here, too embarassing. My damn exhaust is way louder than the horn, a couple revs get more attention than the horn.

Oh, and you can see the horn through the fender. I saw mine when I installed my intake, I was just hoping it didn't honk for some reason while I was taking out the bolts for the stock air box.

Air Horns

I installed the same dual air horns that are in my Lotus Estrit. Made by FIAAM, you can by the kit at an auto supply store, the kit comes with 2 different length horns, an air pump and the relay and hoses. The retro fit was very easy and now it sounds like a european exotic.
