There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Having an air horn saved me twice on the highway.:2thumbs:
First time I was in the middle lane when the car on the right started to merge into my lane at the same time the car on the left did the same thing. A blast on the horn set both drivers back to their lanes.
The second time two ladies were chatting as I was passing them when the the driver started to wander into my lane. A toot of the horn got her back into her lane.
my point is that city driving is not the only place you need a horn an the stock one would not have been heard.

I Just put the bad boy air horn on my wifes 2011 RS. I mounted it in the front part in front of the frunk between it and the tupperware.
and I put the relay on it too. I could be wrong but I've been told, that the horn draws to many amps for the horn wires. If you hold the horn button down to long you can burn the wires. I have in the past use this horn on the RT without the relay, however I never held the button down more than 3 or 4 sec. and never had a problem. ( with this horn you will jump out of the way) Hope this helps John

So with a '13 RTS (with the fog lights), it is going to be an involved project to replace the horn? I wouldn't mind more volume to get peoples' attention, but I am also uncertain if I want to take on a major project to accomplish it.

Considering that the proper use of a horn, in an "improper" situation could save you life?

Pulling the frunk is not that big a deal and is good practice. You only need to do it because there are 2 bolts holding the nacelle in position on the back of the frunk. You have to get the nacelle out to take off the 3 bolts that hold the bottom/side panel together. It should not take more than 2 hrs the hard part is arranging a dual horn set up. I ended up putting one in the original position and the second I bent one of the 2 brackets at a 90deg and attached it to one of the lower fog light bolts and it sits next to the original. I guess I should have taken a picture. Here is a good video 12min to take the frunk off. And he took more than needed off you only need to pull the 2 upper panels/headlight cover and 4 frunk bolts on top and 2 under the bottom (2013) as well as unclip harneses. If you have Spyderpops skid 2 bolts from that too. 10mm socket (small) and T20 bit IIRC are all that is needed and some patience.
