Antenna syndrome

Antenna syndrome
I noticed people make fun of others with the large antennas.
I too fall into the large antenna group.
I was wondering if it was advisable just to cut it off?
I've read people buying 6 inch antennas. Can I just cut it off so there is
about 6 inches remaining? Or will this ruin it and make it non functional?

Someone else just asked about this in general tech. I've got an 8 inch and have not noticed any reception loss. AM told me that if you live close to a major city you'll be fine otherwise get the 14 inch.
You can cut your stock to see if it works if it doesn't spend the $20 and get one from AM.

How is your reception after doing that? Could you tell any difference?

Yeah I live in the California Bay Area, so I doubt I would have a problem.
Besides I typically listen to CDs anyway.
I noticed you have the sequential tailight mod... Did you do that yourself?
I would like to add that to my list of mods, as I think they look awsome.

actually my GF got me those for x-mas last year. They are from web electric products. I recommend this brand because they are put together very well and looked like they paid attention to detail when they built them.

So you wired them up yourself? How long did it take?

That sounds like a great setup. The ones I seen online were a kit with like some relays that you had to cut your existing wires and splice into them to make it work. I seen a video of someone that did. When they were done it converted the brakes turn signals and hazzards all to sequencial.

I got a shorty antennae from MT when it was MT.. LOL. Picks up good for local stations but that aint saying much. Stations here suck for the most part. Music is ok but long winded ads and junk. I got just about every song I want on CD so that 6 changer comes in handy. I may listen to a Nascar race when I have to work weekends. Mostly I just listen to my Flowmasters, on my 4 mile trip to work and back home.. LOL. Married Man...

Just wanted you guys to know after reading this last week. I cut my antenna down to 20in, even with top of my mustang and painted it black. It looks great! This is a great forum to share ideas to improve our rides!!! Thanks again!!

awesome! I did the same thing to mine a while back. I think I cut mine down to 14 inches. Using nothing but a hacksaw and a dremel tool and about 10 minutes I saved 20 bucks.
