Has anyone upgraded the horn(s) and was it legal?

Years ago I had air horns in my Fiat 124, and they were the best. It used to scare the crap out of people. Needless to say, DOT phased them out eventually.

Last year I had a lifted 4x4 almost run over my boxster because he couldn't see me.... I have debated about a train horn

haha, there is a Youtube video of a truck with a train horn terrorizing people. I laughed so hard. It might be just what the Boxster Gods ordered!

...that one of your horns has failed. There are two horns, one "low tone" and one "high tone" and they both must be working in order to have a horn with "jump factor."

These horns fail all the time.

You have to remove the bumper cover to get to them, kind of a pain.

I just replaced both of my horns because both had failed.

Buy the OEM replacements from Pelican Parts. They are plug-and-play.

Just sayin'..........

I think your definitely on to something. It absolutely sounds like only one horn is firing. Being new to the Box, I didn't realize they had two horns. Sounds like a weekend project to check the horns and clean the radiators at the same time!
