SBT Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Griot's Garage sells them. They are cheaper than SuperTones actually. They'll fit in the stock location I think....I've yet to install them. I'm adding the SPT intake and will remove the resonator box, so there should be ample room then. Wow $40.00 vs $70.00 for the HSTs. http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?&SKU=77839 And I'm looking to go with the SPT intake too, so stock location looks like a good place. Hadn't thought of that.

PGT Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I have the HST's in the stock location and it's not an easy fit. A bit of custom bending of the bracket is necessary and all the care in the world doesn't get the bumper skin over them easily. Once over, you reach down in and torque the heck out of them to get it to sit just right. BFH technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 if they are larger than the Hella's, yes, absolutely. Probably better to extend the leads and mount them in the lower grille area instead. If I had it to do over, I'd go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I installed two full size Stebel Nautilus today. OMG So much better sound and volume than the Hella SuperTones I pulled out. One thing....the space is tight and the shape is somewhat cubicle....a single would be a tight fit. I removed the airbox resonator and then had no issues (I'll be putting the SPT intake in soon, so I was planning ahead ). Wiring was simple - no relays needed - same as the Hella's. Use the factory plug for + and then cut a short piece of wire from the - to the chassis. I had already done this, so it was quick work....only having to cut a piece off the factory plug to get it to fit in the slot for the new horns. I'm very happy with it....sounds like a Ferrari horn now instead of a VW. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepFreeze2 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 ^^I was wondering if all that other stuff that was shipped with the horns was necessary.^^ Two horns?!?! Freight train much? YA RLY!!! Home of +2500 useless posts!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Oh....it's loud!!! A side benefit is that they remain on after the key's been turned off....compressor's for the win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mach_six Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Bonus!!! I got the compact ones. Maybe I should order another set. I want something louder than stock but I don't want something that's so loud that people in front of you will be dicks and drive even more slower after you honk at them. This has happened to me a lot with Hella Supertones and I'm not even using them in an obnoxious way, just 2 quick honks to tell them to move their asses instead of daydreaming at the green light. Put up a sound clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepFreeze2 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I had the PIAA horns previously and from what I gather they aren't as loud as the Nautilus horn should be. Still better than stock, though.

PGT Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I did a quick video this morning, but as soon as I hit the horn, they quit on me. A 'short' clip until I get back under the car to investigate (the connections were on the bottom, so gravity > tape to hold the leads in place - solder time!)

PGT Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 no - instructions say it's not needed. Perhaps it is. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach_six Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I am surprised a horn with a compressor doesn't need one. If I don't install one for the Hella, they don't work right. But seeing how it actually sounded pretty loud w/o it might not need one. Is there a horn that's not as loud from that company. Something like that would be fun in NYC but won't be great for everyday use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I have two of the larger ones. Run one small one and you'll be fine. Side note = the Hella's worked fine without a relay for over a year. I suspect the new ones had too much current draw and will need a relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
