Both horns fixed wrong, its fitted like it is for your pleasure.

It is better to fit one horn than fit two horns.. go to another installer and get the hella red grill fitted towards bumper. and check the installation guide of stebel.
Thanks Mugen Bhai will do that as soon as possible.

Roots Vibrasonic will cost you around 700 and Roots megasonic will cost you around 1200.

Stieble nautilus, while it sounds good dont last too much of abuse. The clip that holds the trumpet to the pump came loose and finally broke, so now i am left with a working pump but leaking trumpet. :(

Swift engine bay is too compact there is absolutely no space anywhere so it is very complicated to fit these kind of accessories.

I bought Stebel Magnum off eBay.in and installed them in my swift. Its difficult to fit both the units in the place where the stock horn is fitted. The access to the horn is via the mud flap / guard ( i.e just in front of the underbody of the front wheel). Since both did not fit in the same place I installed one in the stock location and ran a wire to the same location but near the other front wheel. A place to fix a nut and bolt is present.

Mind you The passenger side fog lamp has a grill for the horn but the driver side does not . I have installed both facing forward and don't feel that one sounds louder than the other. Stebel mannums are definately better than stock, but I have heard some louder ones.

Swift engine bay is too much cramped to fit these additional horns even i have the same problem and i have stebel nautilus which is bigger than Magnums which make things worse.
I will be going to a different mechanic who is suggested by one of the members here to change the location of the horns, let me see how it will sound after changing the location.

Anyhow can you please post a pic of the place where you have installed the horn?? It would make things a lot more clear..

Thanks in advance,
Vijay

I got it for Rs 630 Shipped. I think I might have paid about Rs 150 more for not moving my behind to an actual shop in the market. The seller was from around mumbai and hence I got it within 24 hours. Out of Mumbai locations might take 48 hrs I believe.

Vijay,
the stuff that I am pulling out with my finger comes off when you remove those plastic screws. The first horn goes there. The second horn goes on the other side same place. You need not remove the plastic thingy on the other side since you can reach the location from under the bumper. Its possible to do the operation without removing the bumper. Install time about 15 mins.

I am posting pictures for the first time so guys jump in and tell me if this is right

Thanks a ton man, really appreciate your efforts in helping me find the exact location and making things more clear.
Will go to a good mechanic and get it done as soon as possible.

And you have posted the pics in the correct way not to worry..
