Louder Horn Upgrade? (Hella Supertone)

The guy in that video is on another forum I'm part of and he tells me the horn he used is this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HELLA-00339...ash=item3ceec3f0a9:g:sFEAAOSw37tWEpYw&vxp=mtr

Anyone have any experience replacing the horn on their MK6?

Oh, and that video was shot in my city...so you can guess why I want a horn upgrade.

There are two horns (different tones to create dissonance) that are most easily replaced when the bumper is removed. I'm planning on splicing in to the wiring instead of cutting off the connectors because I'm not sure if there is a lot of extra length on the harness.

I'm planning on putting in those exact horns (already have them) soon for that exact reason.

Cool. Relatively easy? Is there a tutorial online somewhere?

They are the same horns. The site allows you to hear them.

I did the low tone only as a replacement on the 09, it is easy to change them and it has a great sound.

How did you guys connect them electrically?

Cut off the stock connector and crimp spade connectors on.

So I tapped into the stock horn wiring, and sometimes I don't get a full volume horn. Intermittent electrical connection or are the horns drawing too much current?

If you are using stock horns too, you may need another relay.

Stock horns are not hooked up, only the supertones. The connector is still intact, but it is not connected to anything.

I have the Hella Supertone horns on my GTI and they sound great. Nice and loud. I took the front bumper cover off to install them, and modified the stock horn connector for use with the Hella horns. No issues, they fit where the stock horns are just fine.
