The elise S2 is magic.........the horn is pants.

1. Can anyone recommend a decent air horn system.
2. Has anyone fitted any
3. Is it a simple job
4. Where is the original fitted

Stebel Nautilus compact. A small self contained unit. Its very responsive and BLOODY LOUD!

You dont need to fit a relay as it's already there but you will have to change the fuse to a 20amp.

Look in the Wiki for how to change, it's located low down in front of r/hand wheel arch. Take the arch liner off and you'll get to it.

First thing I bought after the car.

Can you tell me, does this horn just sound like a louder version of the standard horn or does it have the nice shrill sound of the trumpet type seperate air horns

[Stan.]

I suppose the best way of describing it is, it just sounds 'right' for the car.

It's nothing like the 'noddy' sound of the standard one.

Have you heard a set of Fiamm air horns? Well it's like that. You also get less delay than standard air horns due to the lack of pipework. (The comppressor blows straight into the 'horns').

Loads of owners have fitted these, believe me you wont be dissapointed!

Can't actually remember the last time I used the horn

thanks for that stan, based on your recommendations I will buy one!

haha i noticed the horn is a little soft..all angry behind the wheel only to then sound like dale winton in noddys car..

Cheers Stan, your recommendation was well worth it. Got it fitted yesterday....used it 4 times today now I have a horn to be proud of!!!

Bit of a fiddle to fit, I ended up leaving the original horn attached as it was the intercooler side of some sort of carbon panel. I bolted it onto a plastic composite type framework just below the headlight, behind the small front grill.

It worked fine once i had swapped the fuse and got the polarity right so it blew instead of sucking!!

Fuses have a polarity?
