Here's two questions for the price of one. Totally different topics, but I've
been busy putting the finishing touches on my project.
1. No joy from the horn. Horn brush checked out, horn push does in fact have
continuity all the way to the relay. Checked it with my volt meter. Relay is
getting steady 12v from fuse #3, no trouble there. Horns are NOS, properly
grounded, and give a very nice toot when voltage is directly applied,
bypassing the relay. Is my new horn relay DOA? I can't think of any other
possibility. The wires are correctly routed to the right terminals. Any way
to check the relay itself? It doesn't click.
2. Anyone successfully fit the intermediate stainless pipe (with the little
resonator) from Bell to their 4-2-1 Bell headers? I just spent a frustrating
hour under the car, trying to finagle the thing into position, but the bend on
the header side is backwards. If I rotate the pipe to get the correct
insertion angle, the other end of it is poking down at the front of my left
rear tire. Not good. I see no way to fit this thing without assistance from
the muffler shop who will have to cut and or bend it into position. I'm
opting to return it for a refund since I'm having to involve the pros, anyway.
Their stainless pipe is probably a lot cheaper. I was just wondering if
others have experienced the same trouble.
Take care,
