Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

14 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey, thats what they are called on my PET. I need help locating the horns on my 996. What panels do I need to remove to access and replace one of them. Anyone know if my CPO warranty covers it. I know there cheap but why pay if Porsche will!

POST 2Original post

may be covered I cant remeber, the bumper needs to come off to chnage them, unless you have reall small hands ( and no aero kit) you can reach trhough the square holes on the bottom nearest the pass side and reach them

POST 3Original post

Get the Italian air horns from Griot's Garage. They're great! https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/212966-can-you-hear-me-now-good.html

POST 5Original post

damn that sucks...I was planning on replacing my horns with AIR HORNS..as I hate that my car sounds like a chevy cavalier...horn. The front bumper has to come off? That sucks donkey nuts...man....I am going to break the news to my installer tomorrow. Sucks. EDIT - I am going to get these Italian models...cheaper than the hellas...I am going to ask my installer about teh job. I dont want him having to remove the bumper...sucks man.

POST 6Original post

I believe these are the horns being sold by Groits. I have air horns, but a different brand. My bumper cover needed to be replace by a body shop after I was hit. When the new cover was ready to go on I drove the car home for the weekend to figure out how to mount the air horns. After they were mounted I drove the car back.

POST 7Original post

I just bought the GRIOTS airhorns and spoke to my installer. He said we just need to jack the car up so he can reach under the bumper cover. No need to remove the bumper. Once installed I can report back...maybe post a video or something...

POST 8Original post

Your installer must have teeny tiny hands - the bumper is enclosed under the car. Removing the bumper is really simple and can be done in less than 5 minutes.

POST 9Original post

AsianImage, trust Loren, the front bumper is easy to remove and reinstall. I can attest to that since I followed his instructions for my aero install. I don't see how your installer can reach in from under the bumper either. If he's planning on removing the bottom screws to make room, then he'll still need to pull down the bottom part of the bumper cover for some clearance. Why not just remove it cleanly to prevent accidental damage?

POST 10Original post

Apparently, he has done this before on other p-cars. I will be supervising...I guess it aint brain surgery...right?

POST 11Original post

You can reach trhough the holes and reach the horns, its a little bit of a contorting act but can be done

POST 13Original post

I don't know about other p-cars. Would like to see pictures of how this can be done on a 996. So take pictures of the install. The closest I can think of is pulling back the passenger side fender liner and doing it from that direction. You ain't going to install air horns throught the opening at the bottom of the bumper cover. Hear are mine, but I have a different style.

POST 14Original post

996/boxter horns are easy though the bottom as long as 1 its not an aero kit car 2 it doesnt have a center radiator 3 its not a turbo/c4s but yes i do have small hands, 997 horns on the other hand....... no chance in.......
