Reply With QuoteFunny... the inspection shop in Frisco didn't even bat their eyes at my air horns...
Inspections are getting tough...
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...

That just sounds like somebody on a severe power trip.
That's crazy....."oh look at me I have control over wasting your time"

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.

Just put the horn in the engine bay. Tap the stock horn wire to controll it. Hell just tape it down, dont even use a bracket! :afro:
Damn! Although, I wonder what they'd say since I have both running in my car

Says who? Sparky the "Lord of the Inspectors" at Inspections Only (Plano - Independence & Parker), or the DPS?
I'm going with "A," but that's what Sparky's little book said...

It's not like your horns are blowing The Mexican Hat Dance... silly...
What a total crock of Poopie! Did you call the DPS to verify Sparky's wealth of knowledge?
I’d like to know we have been discussing getting Vivid’s car a more prominent horn. Since it seems to be painted "pull out in front of me at the last minute yellow!"
Sadly, yes... He really did show me his widdle book...

So Air horns are OK, yours is just harsher than most!
They make ya pay?
20.17 Horn. Every motor vehicle shall be equipped with a horn (electric or air) in good working order and capable of emitting a sound audible for a distance of 200 feet or more, but no horn shall emit an unreasonably loud or harsh sound or a whistle.
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)
