    Agree. Kinda disappointing to be honest. Still sounds cool, but I expected them to be much louder. In fact, I think my stock horns are louder.

    Additionally, Option 1 bar does not fit a 2016 OR. I used the two factory holes for the drivers side and ended up drilling two new holes and using rivet nuts and 10-24 bolts.

    For those of us who drive early 2nd Gen, there is no comparison with the meep-meep original vs these. My new 4th -Horn Park Avenue setup is LOUD. Thanks again Tyler !!

    I've finally gotten to the installation of the new harness! Please don't mind the filth. Haha!

    For the undecided: Sound Clip

    Sound clip just gives you an idea of the tones. For volume, you'll need to hear it in person to feel its true glory.

    Again, thank you for all that you do for us, Tyler!

    @BartMaster1234 for those of us with the 8 horns and utilizing the tree on the treaded rod mounting style, which order do you suggest placing the horns?:

    A-A-C-C-D-D-F-F

    or

    A-C-D-F-A-C-D-F

    or

    A-C-D-F-F-D-C-A

    Dealer’s Choice. How you can get them to physically fit together the best would be the best method.

    So after a month or so of use......AWESOME!

    I have had the "opportunity" to use these a few times and let me tell you they get someone's ATTENTION RIGHT AWAY!

    Thanks again!

    Yes, I’m very happy too with the new sound. I ordered Setup #1 for my 3rd gen 2016 and opted to attach two horns to the OEM spots after removing originals. Then, on the passenger side of bay drilled holes and attached the remaining two. Used a metal strip as additional support on the back side.
    Very stable and sounds great.

    Anytime Tyler! I still have yet to "talk" with a train that follows along I25 every time I go by but will report back.

    BTW...I showed the horns off to my friends at the airport and everyone was, PUN INTENDED, "BLOWN AWAY"....everyone said it sounds like a train and that is what I hoped for!

    Thanks again Tyler!
