    I installed one on my lancer and mounted them onto brackets on the firewall. For a commo I would highly suggest to put them near the radiator as that is really the only room there is.

    Mine are on the passenger's side near the air conditioning hose and I made an aluminium bracket to protect the compressor from exhaust heat. Sorry but it's difficult to obtain a decent photo of them in that position and note the black wiring conduit that I covered the air hoses and part of the trumpets with to help protect from heat, hope this helps.

    Hey mate bit of a thread digg lol ,Dont have any pics . but anyways basically I installed them under the front bumper/ right head light along the radiator sorta bar support using a few L shaped brackets to hang the trumpets , so the horn was facing down. All along in a line took a bit of moving and fine turning because theres not alot of room there . What i did is with the bumper still on mark where the L brackets could go , then took the bumper off and installed them then checked if the bumper fitted . I then ran all the pipes to the compressor which i had near the batttery, sorta just resting there between the body


    I made a picture for you waht im talking about

    Trayner: you dont get any probs with water or dust and shit getting in the trumpets on the front there?
