you will loose more reception with the shorty antenna than if you cut your stock antenna. The shorty antenna, whom mine was made by ZX3tuning, its not an antenna, its a decorative piece of painted solid aluminum with a thread on the end. it was not engineered to be a functioning antenna, it does not bend either, that could mean either the antenna brakes right off, or worse case, your roof of your car will bend/dent.

Like everyone else here, I'd just stick to cutting down the stock antenna, and re-gluing the cap back on it.
