Question skull horn cover install

Purchased and installed a skull horn cover and now find the sound of the horn really muffled. Took it off and tried it and horn sound like stock again. Any ideas why the horn is so lame when it is installed. Its like not having a horn at all when the skull is installed. I installed it like the instructions said. Any ideas

you may have the horn assembly overtightened, which will dampen the resonance.

try to loosen the mount.

I will check the tightness. I was looking at it and it seems closer to the horn than the stock cover was.
