You're right, reception lessens with the size of the antenna (or none). Try it. Turn your radio on to what is NOT your strongest station. Then swap the antennas. You will hear a difference. Also notice the sound when swapping (i.e. you don't have ANY antenna). It will be even less.

If you are using satellite then it will work just fine. But for AM/FM you could see a decrease in reception depending on how far away from the station you are or the lay of the land.

No I haven't done anything with the exhaust. I really don't plan on messing with the exhaust any time soon. I'm like you & aren't planning on doing too many mods. I have installed a spoiler on the tail & think it looks great. I am right now working on painting my door handles to match the color of the car. Dan

I may be an isolated case, I installed the stubby antenna from a recommend here on the board, there are areas in the city that I get zero reception which can suck but it's not a big deal since I usually listen to my phone anyway

Yes if you are listening to AM/FM then you will probably get dropout in some cases. I use satellite all the time & is probably the only way the stubby will work 100%. If you only use the radio as a backup to your phone, then all is good. The stubby looks way better than the original.
