Wanna put one of these on the kon. How hard is it to install. Also does it replace the stock one, or is it added on a seperate switch??

I installed Dixie horns on my VW. I installed it with a separate switch because they don't work well as a regular horn. It's not hard to do--especially since there's so much room in the Yukon's engine bay. It's just a matter of figuring out how to mount the horns.

Then you just wire it up to the relay with a switch and you're good to go. I used a toggle switch so that I wouldn't have to keep pressing the button while the tune played.

There was no room in the engine bay so I used cable ties to mount the horns. They held up well. I painted them black because i didn't want them to stand out through the grille.

This is what it sounded like:

Nice install. Thanks a bunch. Gunna order some then as at 40 bucks Im not out aton if it dont go right. Im thinking of mounting the compressor on that second battery tray . Then the horns someware in there too. :yesnod:

One thing to consider is that you don't want the compressor too far away from the horns because I think there will be a longer delay for the sound to come out and the compressor will have to pump out more air--I could be wrong. The tubing that came with it pretty much limited where I could mount it.

I bought an oogah horn at pepboys for my 1969 deville and it took me about 10 minutes to install ...

drill pilot hole in engine bay spray glav to avoid rust then mount horn and connect using factory horn wiring.

If you need to run a new line there is a boot through the firewall right by the steering assembly big enough for a small wire

For the Yukon, I'd really like to get some train horns
