Anyone Done Horns Yet?

[CivicSportSGP]

I upgraded to the Euro Horn on my 23 Sport Touring, not sure if horn placement is any different compared to the Type R, but I used this video as a guide and didn't even need to remove the bumper.

Bit of a bump.

Out of curiosity, when you removed that metal piece under the top of the bumper cover, did you have to tourqe it down? Might be a dumb question.

I'm still debating on whether to go the OEM Euro Horns or a pair of PIAAs I had on my 10th gen.

This piece?

Nothing torqued with a torque wrench or anything. I just hand tightened it until it was snug and did an additional quarter turn.

Correct. Are the Euro horns louder than stock, or does it have a better tone?

This link has clips showing the difference between the standard horns and the Euro Horn. I feel like the Euro Horn is definitely louder, but instead of what sounds like 2 high tones there is 1 low tone and 1 high tone, so its not the typical "meep" Honda horn sound.

GENUINE HONDA ACCESS EUROHORN


Also, if you do get the Euro Horn, make sure you use the bracket that comes with the kit for the horn that's at the bottom on the passenger side. Its a beefier bracket. I originally didn't have that installed and any time I started or turned off my car I can feel and hear it vibrate.

It's definitely louder, and sounds great as far as horns go lol

Have this on order.....always embarrassing honking the horn .....should be standard on our cars

Interesting options.

I've been thinking of the VW Mk7, mine has great sounding horns ... more American car, loud and bold in nature. That's what I'm going for if I can find a wrecked part out.

Just out of curiosity, did you install the low or high town on the lower position? The kit came with a bunch of parts and no instructions.

TBH I don't think it really matters as long as you get both horns installed, but I only used the harness extensions, and the beefier bracket for the lower positioned horn in the wheel well/bumper. No instructions are really needed, its all pretty much plug and play.

I have the same kit, it doesn’t matter which one goes where, just make sure the openings face down to avoid water intrusion. Once you get the bumper off you‘ll be able to figure out the brackets. Definitely use the new brackets as these horns are a decent amount heavier than the puny ones that come stock.
