About 7 years ago the horn stopped being 2-tone and was a single tone. It was weird but whatever.

Tonight I beeped the horn and now it sounds a child's toy car. it sounds loud in the video but it's actually fairly quiet.

I don't remember the horn being 2 tone in the 330 ... the only car I knew of that had a 2 tone horn was back in the day when my dad had the MB 560SEC's.

I'm happy for you ... congrats and enjoy !!

Btw I was looking forward to your review all day what took so long

When you bring it back down to have JV fox the front end and install new kidney grilles, he should install this for you.

The Borla sounds very similar, just a little deeper at idle.
