the oem one is kinda long and thinky of getting shorty antenna as first mod. any advice? Getting evo x mr and wanna keep it in the stock class for auto-x.

 

no it doesn't affect radio wave reception. if you're any good with your hands you can make your own antenna and use the 15-30 bucks for something else. All you need to do is take the antenna out (unscrews), take the tip off (save that part), cut the antenna to whatever length you desire, take about 1" of the shielding off the wire, boil the rubber tip that you pulled off and slide it back on the newly cut end of your antenna. if you don't have a rubber tip just sauder the end.

 

psh, who listens to the radio anymore

 

normal people ...

 

thanks

 

Cut mine off and have noticed no difference!

 

OUCH! lol

 

As far as your local stations you'll get your reception,I noticed I use to get stations that is far from me like 70 miles away but now nothing.I don't really care about that since I listen so cheap *** sirius if I'm listening to the radio.

 

Wow, amazing how crafty someone can get when they don't want to spend the money on something. I like your idea.

 

thats a good idea, thats $ autoxing for a day.

 

thanks bro. it's worth at least trying, like what's the worst thing you throw away the mast and go ahead and buy the antenna you were planning on buying? not only will modifying your stock antenna be free but it won't be a fat antenna that is usually in the market.
or seven lottery tickets!

 

normal people dont live in central jersey...
oops did that just slip?

 

lol I don't even know what you mean by that. central jersey rocks. it's where most of the shore points are in New Jersey, pretty much a sex place to live.

 

^^ agreed...

 

I put on the sharkfin and haven't noticed a reception difference.
