I had one of the two go bad, but just replaced both because they were cheap.

Seems Porsche has a horn problem, our 06 997 had one horn go out, replaced by dealer CPO, and one on my 09 Boxster...didn't know which was not working so I bought both because the front bumper had to come off and I did not know which one was bad....sounded like peep peep embarrassing

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.

I can't believe I couldn't find another thread about this. Something tells me I did something wrong.
My car has the lower frequency wimpy horn. 420 Hz I believe.
Please let me know which is a good replacement to make it sound like a proper German Machine.
I know there is an OEM 510 Hz model but I have no clue how that sounds and could not find anything online.
I like the horn on my BMW, high pitched and manly.
Thanks,
Ted
following along. my recently acquired 03 c4s apparently has a whimpy low end horn only as well. didnt even notice it until instructor at HPDE happened to hit the horn and almost laughed.
Maybe something like this compact 2-tone (530 hz and 680 hz) air horn ->

Traditional air horns from Fiamm and others with trumpets, pump, and hoses are bulky and not all that reliable. The above Amazon link is a self-contained 2-tone air horn in a very compact package (about 4" square by 3" deep) and rated at 139db. Might be worth a try.

Thanks for the feedback. Did you need to install a relay due to the (presumably) higher current draw of the air horns, or could you wire it directly in place of the existing horn?
I would recommend including the relay. It comes with the horn IIRC, so nothing extra to buy.
Good deal, as warned it�s all you�ll ever need! Quality tone as well and befitting a pcar imo.
I only used the existing Porsche relay. The one that came with the horn is redundant. I removed both existing horns ( one didn’t work), and installed in the stock location, slight modification of the included bracket was necessary to clear the bumper cover.
Mine sounds like a rubber ducky squeak. No bass at all. Embarrassing. I stopped using it cause it doesn't alert anyone. I only get weird finger pointing and laughter.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
