okay so i just put them on and i had the same issue with the horns not being grounded so i need to go get some rubber washers and mess around with it. But it looks good with both of them on.

I installed bryans and i had same issue. Since the horns only have one wire going into them, the circuit is completed by taking off some paint from the back of the scoops. Same issue with harness, but i was able to get a little more slack by pulling on it a little after unclipping it. I then reclipped it. Now, these are neat and im in for group buys, but i think this one i can do myself. For those who dont think it works and need data and whatever they are asking for, its a simple mod, and dyno runs wont help. This mod is only for highway, top end runs, track. Thats where this will work. I am willing to try these out at the track here in galveston and see what results i come up with. Then we could see the difference. Imho, these will work. Its simple, rammed outside temp air going into the intake. Not heat soaked air coming from the engine. Again, nice mod, and small gains, but i thinks its worth it.

Just take a wire brush and remove paint around where the horn mounts to the metal. That will make a good ground and your horn should work.

I didnt use any rubber spacers, or washers. We were very limited on toold. VERY limited. I had a 10mm 12mm chanel locks and the screw driver that comes in the lexus tool bag kit. The scoops and takeda intake were installed using these only lol. I used the channel locks and scraped just enouth to make the ground circuit.

Have two ISFs side by side, with same or similar mods. Do some highway pulls and record the outcome, then install the scoops and proceed to do some more highway pulls, starting on the same speed and gear as in the initial pulls. Post the results.
