In pics: Upgraded the stock horn on my 5th gen Honda City

The stock horn is very weak and people barely notice it. The sound itself was very shrill and a bit unpleasant to hear in my opinion.

Got the Hella Chrome Trumpet installed last week. The results are exactly what I wanted. The stock horn is very weak and people barely notice it. The sound itself was very shrill and a bit unpleasant to hear in my opinion. I wanted to go the DIY route but ultimately had to go to an accessories shop as I did not want to mess with electricals about which I have 0 knowledge. Got it installed at Car Concept, pretty decent shop. It cost me Rs. 1750 all inclusive. It is cheaper on Amazon. No relay was installed. Installation took just 10 minutes in all. One funny thing, the technician who was attending to my car was trying to pry the bumper open from the wheel well but was having problems in doing so. I told him that there's no need for doing that. I opened the bonnet, opened the tabs with a flat head screwdriver and removed the trim piece. He chuckled and then proceeded. It sounds really good and even better in tunnels and other enclosed areas. Some pictures and a video for a better understanding:

Not noticeable from the outside:

Had to remove the stock bracket as there wasn't enough space:
