Inspections Only (Plano - Independence & Parker) managed a spot on my s*** list today... Anyone else failed inspection because of air horns? Shall we compile a list of inspection shops that are just a tad full of themselves?
I wouldn't be nearly so miffed if swapping my stock horn back in for a day didn't require removing/replacing my grill...
Funny... the inspection shop in Frisco didn't even bat their eyes at my air horns...
That just sounds like somebody on a severe power trip.
That's crazy....."oh look at me I have control over wasting your time"
give me a break.
So I guess if you need am OEM horn I have one you can have to put on it, so you can pass and dont have to waste $38. or whatever it is where you live.
You cant reach them from the top? wtween your radiator and the grill?Quote:

Why is it a problem? Somebody might actually hear it? :ncool:
Damn! Although, I wonder what they'd say since I have both running in my car :D
Isn't a horn a horn?
What was the problem with the Air Horns??? :scratch:
State says you have to have a horn, doesn't state what kind of horn...Quote:

Purely a judgment call... unfortunately for you, that shop calls it shrill... find a new shop ASAP.
Dont Ferrri's have air horns? 550 maranello spotted in Whitesboro of all places, at our subway. (off topic just had to share)
Sounds like we need to find out when that fart knocker is working, drive up there a blast our "shrill" air horns for him in unison. :twisted: What a tool. :rolleyes:
What a jackass. :roll:
