Default MY00-01, 02-03, 04+

so as i was supervising justin and chris do a valve adjustment, i noticed that my MY01 only had 1 horn in the front of the radiator. Chris (MY02) and justin (MY04) has 2: 1 in the engine bay in the usual spot, and 1 at radiator as well.

i'm not sure if anyone's confirmed the difference of MY00-01 and MY02-03, but maybe this should be added to that list?

and last but not least, are AP1/AP2 horns plug-n-play for any MY?

We should check the plug sometime and see if it's the same

Get an aftermarket horn. Sounds better. Much better.

i'd like to keep it close to stock, especially if it's only a horn

I understand the philosophy.

oem s2k horns are pretty good. i know the OP didn't ask about models past 05, but my 06 has 2 horns. was thinking about changing them because i like higher pitched horns. i've used air horns in several of my previous cars, but response time for those is pretty bad, compared to to electric horns. hella supertones are a popular choice for aftermarket horns. they're super loud, esp when hooked up w/relays & powered directly off the battery, but their tones are close to stock honda horns, which i don't like. supposedly, you can fiddle w/the screwa on the back to change the frequency, but i've never done it.
