I don't see where simply adding a horn would void any warranty. With my
airhorns, one wire off the relay connects to the battery, one to a ground, one
to the horn compressor, and one to the factory horn wire. On my '87 Accord, I
just drop a plastic panel ahead of the wheel well, pull the wire in, and
ScotchLock it to the appropriate wire - no cutting required. The horns
themselves mount in the space between the grille and the radiator. If it did
become an issue, the whole thing could be removed with virtually no sign it had
ever existed.
