The concept aesthetically looks awful, though you are probably not going for looks if you're asking. Also, this slightly practical horn modification still will not defeat IO/QT, but at least no one will steal you detector since it will look so ridiculous. You could also use some more practical materials such as thin brass or aluminum rather than a milk carton and aluminum foil. Theoretically, as stated before LOS or "straight forward facing" sensitivity will increase but off axis and obstruction reflection will be degraded. Doesn't seem worth it, not to a V940 anyways.
    Well I took the front cover off the horn and found a remarkable improvement on performance. I was quite suprised to be honest.

    Oh, and if I get a gain in performance by adding a "Ridiculous" modification as long as it gives and improvement in performance I dont care how silly it looks.
