will it still work like stocK???

 

HAHAHA. Its a heck of alot cheaper than my Perrin antennae .

 

Would that not cause reception loss and/or allow the wires of the antenna to be in contact with water?

 

Yeah I thought about doing this acually a long time ago, but I just got an s2k antenna.

 

Me too, they aren't that expensive to begin with and if you know the parts manager- they are even cheaper.

 

Yea it'll effect reception, but I don't travel much

 

how bad is the reception now?

 

S2K antennas are like 10 bucks, I got mine from a friend who just took it off an S2K...

 

10 bucks? I got mine for $20 at Honda.

 

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm beer.

+ =

 

Hacking off a length of the stock ant. will cause a mis-match which will degrade reception but it should still work for close stations. Not that I recomend it but even a metal coat hanger can work reasonably well as an ant.

I took mine completely off and still get the stations that I listen to just fine so I would suggest that you do the same before you hack your ant. If you still get reception with no ant. then the hacked ant. may work well enough for you.

Getting the open stub wet is not a problem as there is no voltage applied to it by the receiver.

 

too funny.

 

S2K antenna works awesome...and actually looks pretty good.

 

Mach V carries a Billet Antenna. I got it for like $23 I think and it's silver.
