It's a great freemod and it shouldn't effect the radio reception much, if at all.

the shorties are so cheap though and then you get the nice finished look

Do it yourself, it's free and easy to do... and you won't even notice the reception lost (if any at all).
There is a tutorial at Mustang World .com and it has before and after pictures for comparison.

I shortened mine and repainted it black, it looks good, cut it to match the height of the roof. I have satellite so I rarely use radio, but when i do it comes in just as ****ty as terestrial radio usually does, no change at all from stock.

It takes about 5 minutes to do, and it helps to have a grinder.

MP3 cd's ftw. I took my audio equiptment out when I did the vortech and haven't put it back in yet.... whine and exhaust seems to be all I need for now.
