Horn? Not sure what you are referring to.

I'd recommend putting the screens back in though. They smooth out the airflow quite a bit, and can cause MAF reading problems, and you could easily lose more than you are hoping to gain.

I put one of the screens back in..but when i had both of them out the car seemed to accelerate alot better and i think it was smoother.
