Horn discussion

[Kyng]

So I bought hella horns to install on my ‘18 since the horn sounded very faint. I had looked up if anyone had the same issue with the stock horn but it seems most folks like the stock horn which surprised me. When I took out the passenger side headlight (like you do), I noticed there is only one horn! The bracket is different then the ones I’ve seen before of pics with the front bumper off.

Did Ford only give one horn on the new fiestas? Seems silly to me. I apologize if this is common knowledge. I didn’t even think to take a picture while I had the headlight out.

It seems that this is the case. I have a 19 and it also only has one horn.

I had one horn in my 2019, one that was distinctly on the weak side. Fixed that when I pulled the front fascia to install a Mountune Induction kit. It's much better now but I am considering adding a 175 db Train Horn and compressor on a delay timer. With the new Mountune airbox there is room under there for a compressor and rather large horn assembly. Figure I'll set the timer to about 2 seconds, long enough to get most folks moving. After that time is up I'll kick in the loud stuff and watch them fill their shorts with brown sludge.

The 2014 has two horns (both look the same on the outside), the 2018 has only one horn. Mounting location height is different. saves weight and money it seems... on the list of stuff they cheapened in the later models, such as the LED light above the glovebox, the accessories inside the glovebox... OK can't think of anymore right now but yes the horn definitely.

My 15 is definitely a dual tone. My old focus was a wimpy single.

I would like to see a DIY of this!

So per member tally so far,
2014 through 2016 are all dual horn.
2018+ are single horn.

Waiting for a 2017 owner to chime in...

 

[Sakel]

2017 owner here, have dual tone

 

[Intuit]

So there we have it.

Dual Horn:
2014
2015
2016
2017

Single Horn:
2018
2019

This is the 92' Typhoon embroidered headrest seats Vs. the 93' Typhoon Fatman Suburban seats! I'm just gonna ask the 18' & 19' owners if they are single or dual Horn. So in the END I can say I am Hornier than the 18 & 19s!

I had forgot Ford cheapened a lot of things with the ‘18+ models.

wait, what else did they change? I know they added a camera

 

[Intuit]

Hopefully they added some paint with that camera.

I think the SYNC 3 also. But maybe that's it besides the lack of color options.

 

[TyphoonFiST]

Sync 3 was available in 16'...I have Sync 2....

Ah, well I don't know what else they changed other than the horn and all what AZSP33D said.

 

[Sakel]

I'd trade a horn for a camera tbh

 

[KnockOff]

I'll take sync 3 and a shity horn over sync 2 and dual horn. The horn is so much easier and cheaper to upgrade.
