    Expert opinion wanted: Horns!

    My question is this: In the '67 through '69 cars, did Porsche ever use both a snail-shaped horn and a standard round vibrator horn on the same car as their standard factory installation? I've heard opinions either way, and a recent listing on evilbay suggests that it was done for a time. Any takers?

    No mention of this in Dr. J book. I checked my PETs and only snail style for those years shown. My car is normal snails

    Air goes in and out, blood goes round and round, any variation of this is a bad thing.

    That makes sense, as I believe the snails came in 400 and 500 Hz for a proper pairing. Thanks for the reply, and any other opinions are welcome.
