i am sure it isnt true with all antennas. but with fm radio (which is what this thread is most likely about) there is generally a certain antenna length that will work best with the frequency. there is an equation to figure it out, but its late and i'm too tired to bother with it. you can look it up if you want.

anyways, this doesn't have anything to do with people posting pictures of their shorter antennas so i am going to stop posting about it here.

im pretty sure Xx01CamaroZ28xX has the BitViper antenna. I have the same one. I love it, actually went to BitVipers house and got, cool guy and great looking car. I dont really listen to the radio much to notice if there is a difference in reception.

Yeah, but the only reason people get reception is because FM waves have a VERY good property that lets them refract and bounce off walls and ****. 12 inches on your antenna isn't gonna do anything. Now if the stock antenna was 50 ft up in the air, then you have a case.

Kind of a shitty pic, but you get the idea. Just a chopped stocker. Still gets good reception!

Yup I got BitViper's antenna and I am VERY satisified with the product. It looks great, and gets good reception.
