I purchased 36sq ft of sound deadener. Still looking at ways to mount my hellatones now that I have the wiring figured out.

Use the brackets it came with and mount it to the crash bar. Gotta twist em to make it work though. They're flimsy but when you put the bumper on, it pushes them and they stay in one spot photo770.jpg

Not a bad idea. How far down are they? From the pic it looks about halfway.

It's hard to explain but there's holes in the crash bar that are vertical and they are bolted there

What's the deal with hellatones? I see people all over throwing them on their car but I never knew what started it.

They sound good and not like the little squeak of the stock horn

I can't even remember the last time I used my horn on purpose. From what I have seen on the internet seems like it is often done as a visual enhancement as much as anything. I just wondered where it all started

I like to use it when people don't turn right on red (legal in MI) and enjoy it most when they flip me off and not turn until the light turns green. At that point I wish I had a fog horn after a long day at work and 1.25 hour commute back home.

If you want to attach a miniature air compressor to your car somewhere, you can have the train horn. I think it's too much. The hellatones are quite loud but not at that obnoxious level.

I run the Hellas as well. Always hated the pathetic sqeak of the stock horn. This suits the car much better.

I'm just curious where it all started and when. I see them all over the internet. Based on what I saw I always thought people did them just as much for the appearance, through the grill, as they did for anything.

If you keep the convo on the forums others can learn and if they have similar issues likely fix it.

Hey Zach, start a thread in the problems/service/maintenance (Slowbalt2000 doesn't like it when you get off topic in here) and lay out your symptoms and detail the situations which those symptoms occur. I only know about what I have personally experienced but if we start a thread we have a better chance of narrowing down what it may be as a group effort. Right off the bat I would ask if your plugs come out black consistently across the board or if there is inconsistency between each cylinder. Also post up any and all engine codes (in the new thread) that may be tripped as you should at least have a misfire code.

Picked up some 5 spoke rims, cleaned them up and mounted some Continental Pure Contacts on them. Drives like a new car!
