No problems at all with the 14". You can get them right here at Mustang Tuning....various sizes and colors.

I just cut mine to 12" and put the little ball back on. Looks great and works just like it did when it was full length.

You have to pull it off with pliars or something. It can be a bitch. Then cut the antenna, grind down the top a little, replace the ball, and you're good to go. Might want to repaint it if you scuffed it all up.
