I have this antenna and I love it. Looks a lot better than the stock one and the reception is just as good.

only thing i don't care for with the shorty antennas are the wind noise over 60-70+mph.. the stock one doesn't do it because it's thinner and curved the whole way down.

I have the 14" and my reception hasn't suffered. A few have noted poor reception with the 8".

I got the 14" cuz it matches up perfect with the roofline.

Anything is better than the flyfishing pole ford puts on these things

+1. I went with the 14" (from AmericanMuscle) because of how well it matched the roofline. 8" are decent as well, just wasn't what I was after. As far as quality, it's been 100% so far. Easy install, cleans up the look, I'd say a shorter antenna is a no-brainer (especially considering how cheap they are.)

As for reception, that should be a non-issue.

Aftermarket exhaust + windows down = music to my ears.

I'm going to guess that installation is as easy as screwing the old one off, and then screwing the new one on?

Correct me if I'm wrong.
