Hello Everyone,
We all know that the horn is lacking on the Challenger. A few of us have replaced it and I wanted to share what I did. I’m going to share the part numbers that I used and the first post will be very picture heavy.
TL;DR - Horn sucks, replacement is pretty easy - need a wiring adapter if you don’t want to cut factory wires
My Goals:
Part numbers: (Metri-Pack 280 Sealed Connectors)

For the install, I re-used the mounting arms from the stock horn. There were 3 of them stacked together. I thought that was too rigid so I started with one but it was too loose. I ended up using 2 of them and that seemed to be just right.
I have an accidental video of me using the factory horn, I need to do another one at the same distance with the new one but it sounds MUCH better and is a little louder.

It only took about 30 minutes start to finish to do the full install which included removing the fairing and putting it back on, and making the connector. Now that I’ve done it a few times, it would be much quicker. I had much more time in tracking down the parts and figuring out what I needed. I hope this helps someone!
Thanks!

My Goals:
- Replace the stock horn
- No cutting of factory wiring
- Factory looking install with no wires run to the battery / factory switch
Part numbers: (Metri-Pack 280 Sealed Connectors)
- Connector: Aptive/Delphi 15300002
- Terminal: Aptive/Delphi 12129497 (This varies depending on wire size… I used too large of gauge wire so had to use bigger connectors.)
- Seal: Aptive/Delphi 12129497 (Same as the terminal)
- Lock: Aptive/Delphi 15300014
- Wire: What I had laying around
- Horn: Denali SoundBomb Mini (SoundBomb™ Mini Electromagnetic Low Tone Horn) - They're about $30.
