Default Horns

Random question that popped in my head…do ZR1 horns sound different than the other models? They are a different part number from the others.

Looks like a mounting bracket issue.

Looking at both 2009 base and ZR1...are the same part numbers in GM Catalog. That doesn't mean they left the assembly plant with the same horns. It is called part supersession. The current number probably replaces every model C6 horn. Here is the Left horn:
