I've had mine on for a few months and my signal is the same as it was with the stock antenna.

this is a great thread!... I bought my Evo heavily modded from CBRD so it has run great for me so far as a daily driver. the only regret I have is that I didn't do the work myself so I couldn't enjoy working on the car... but at least the work was done right at CBRD

The Tru Boost IS AWESOME... you just have to figure out how to tune it. Go to AEM and look up on how to tune it correctly, I had the same problem as you but this fixed it.

Not really a regret, as I wouldn't change it back if I could, but now that my Swift Spec R's have settled, the car does feel quite a bit rougher over bad roads (the norm in Chicago). They still feel awesome in corners but yeah, if you live somewhere with bad roads, be ready for a compromise.
