Cool!! I went through the bottom access panel vs the fog light cover to install my horns. It was quite easy. I also kept both horns, and ran the second horn through a fuse & relay. Now it sounds like 2 cars honking and really gets attention!!!!
As I reside in Los Angeles, NO ONE pays attention to my standard horn at all. This high db horn is a welcome change to something realistic. I just bought this horn kit from College Honda, and my body shop will install it for $153. The reason I am doing this is, College Honda's pdf on installation calls for R & R of the bumper. I spoke with the tech and he said this is Honda's procedure. I don't want to break parts as due to an incident last year the bumper assy was new.
Was waiting for this video! Last month I held my horn when an old man almost backed into me in a parking lot, solid 10 seconds and he still couldn't hear it. He only stopped when someone walking by slapped the back of his car to get his attention.🤦♀
Install is a bit tighter with upgraded intercooler and charge pipe but you can put a bend in the new bracket and still make it fit. Horn wire polarity doesn't matter.
Chris, also, in another vid you posted, I realized that after removing the "garnishes" it is better to install those fog light vinyl covers to the fog lamps. While you are replacing the horn and stuff.
How do you unbolt the intercooler pipe bolts the 10mm theyre like welded on tigjt or something, isnt there anyway I can reach the horn without the pipes??
Thank you aounds good but when temoving that bolt dont disconnect things that may have to be maitenanced later.. Next time use the socket and the socket wrench without the extention or just use a wrench in there cus somrtimes removing parts can cause things to crack or seals to not align perfect again just fyi..
Did you disconnect the battery first or remove the horn fuse? When I did this, it seems like the horn was blown. I've tried attaching the plugs on the harness 2 different ways and no change. I got the same one you did from college hills Honda.
I Purchased my first civic in june and when i used the horn for the first time when someone cut me up i said to myself WTH is that from post man pats van? It was embarrassing but funny at the same time 😆
Hey Chris, i have a few questions in regards to your type r. I have a 2021 civic sport hatch and was thinking of upgrading to the type r. Let me know if i can message you somewhere besides the comments to have a more 1 on 1 conversation about it. Thank you for your consideration.
You're right, I'm always embarrased to honk my horn in my civic! Lol, I hate it
Lmao I hate it too but I think it’s so funny to go “beep beep” pulling up to friends haha
I just did this and found it much easier to fit the horn in by taking the whole existing horn bracket off. Try it!

You had to run an additional wire to the fuse box to have 2 horns.?
You have any videos to share to show how to install a second horn?
Can you tell us how to do that? Also, what is the right connector to use?
I'm glad the steps that happened from watching youtube happened on youtube.

Thanks for the full demonstration.

I recently asked the Reddit Civic community if anyone had considered upgrading their horn. No response. Somehow, I found this vid!!!

The Road Runner horn! Lmao “Meep Meep”
Since he mentioned Road Runner now I wanna keep it in lol
I don’t even use the horn I use my finger 😂
Well I'm here because yesterday I used my horn for the first time in my FK8. I felt so inadequate 😂
i didn't even know you could change the horn omg thank you for this lol
Thank you Chris! I ordered the horn upgrade kit right after I saw this! Thumbs WAY up!
get 2 horns. Hi and Lo. Sounds even better
Great upgrade brother but I would argue it’s all about how you use that meep meep 😆🤣
What kind of connector did you use? You don’t have a link for that. Just the horn.
I think the meep meep is a Japanese small car thing. I swear it literally is the same on civics, and Corolla etc

Does it matter that the horn is not pointing towards the front of the car?
I need that horn upgrade
Is there anything louder? What about an air horn? Wouod that be legal?
Great upgrade

I only use my horn like once a year tho since I don't live in the city 😂 Good upgrade tho!
Still don’t really like this aftermarket new one. Is there any other ones?
When i first got my civic and tried out the horn I laughed pretty hard lol. But do you think it's possible to install a train horn to the civic?
Very possible, but some fabrication would be needed and you'd have to sacrifice some interior/trunk space for the air system.
it is out of stock ,, anyone know somewhere else i can buy this exact horn
Does that lip fit on non hatchback models , like just the regular civic sport sedan
RIP to all the broken clips
I got sick speed horn for my 2018 Honda Civic they are really loud it’s a two horn system
Will this work for a 2020 LX? It should right?
Are there any steps during the removal of the original part in which you DIDNT break something? lol 😆🤣😂
I was just thinking about this!
I Purchased my first civic in june and when i used the horn for the first time when someone cut me up i said to myself WTH is that from post man pats van? It was embarrassing but funny at the same time 😆
Hey Chris does this work on a Honda Civic sedan 4 door 2020
Can someone verify the oem horn from 2018 plus accords is plug and play??

Don’t considerate, just do it
I refuse to honk my horn in my civic because it sounds so awful lmao
Quick question.. it’s compatible with the type R ?
Yes!
I like my little beep beep
Why in the world would anyone remove the whole front bumper to do this?
2 tone is much better.
I never use the horn.. i prefer the finger
Type R horn is much better imo it has its cracking sound to it compared to a clean sound
My girlfriend makes fun of my car everytime I beep 🤣 so now I barely meep meep
The alarm is the worst I got an 8th gen
👍
So now I have no more meep meep the clown horn now it sounds like a real horn honk
i think the upgrade sounds worse. type r sounds better.
Nope I love my lil meep meep lol
Hardtop guy has better sounding horn
Bruh this is the video for me 🤡
Asian?
Yes
Pinoy ka kapatid?
I think I would find a way to mount big rig diesel truck horns. People would definitely hear that! 😛 >>HONK HONK
