I installed the Fiamm horns some few years ago. The horns are fine, sound
great, but the compressor died very shortly after installation. $20 later,
a wrecked Porsche 911 gave it's set of horns to me (many of them have the
air horns). Now I have an extra set of horns as well as a great sealed
compressor. I mounted them just inside the passenger side headlight, short
hose run to the horns which point out the grille just inside the lights.
This does several things: keeps the horns well out of the way of road
debris, and, as they are pointed right out the grille, it puts them at
about ear level of most of the schmucks who deserve an ear-full.
