Default Do the horns on the '08 STIs sound better?
I can't stand the way the horn sounds on my '07. It just doesn't match the car at all.

Did they make the horn sound a little meaner on the 08 STIs?

TIA!

God put bad horns on all STIs as a signal that we should all buy Hella Horns

Indeed. My Mustang had a real horn. On the rare occasion when I've used the one in the STI it makes me feel like a pansy. If I used the horn more often than once a year I'd get supertones.
