For the record, the Helix stubby has a dyno-proven 1.3% better reception.

Where can i find this 1.3% dyno proven fine piece of machinery?

 

it looks like the one that broke off my car in the car wash over the winter. :cryin:

 

As with almost all things ALTA it looks good but does not work well. I have one just for the look because I have not used a radio in 8 years I just use my iPod.

 

This is the only thing from alta on my car, and I only have it because Wellzy put it on. I can't complain, it looks better than the long antenna and it was free.

 

I too have the alta antenna, looks good couldn't tell ya if it's better or worse than factory. Wish I woulda known about that 1.3% Eric@Helix. I did get the sponge filter as well but Dave.0's wise words have led me away from purchasing Alta in the future

 

I bought a Honda one way back when...Still works great. But the Helix, with it's dyno data, is tempting. I hear it improves treble response, decreases bass yo-yo, helps midrange lag, and lowers IAT's 10 degrees too.

 

I made my own out of SS....
I call it "My Stubby"...

 

Wait, what's bad about Alta stuff?....

You asked the wrong question:

The correct question is: "what is good about Alta stuff?"

The answer is much shorter, saves time.


You buy Alta, it's your faulta...

 

If you use your radio/sat radio or have the factory nav I would recommend the MINI factory shorty antenna. It is a bit more expensive but I had serious issues with my Sat Radio and a Non-Mini branded antenna.

 

Okay, haha. I should ask is there anything wrong with the Alta 15% reduction pulley kit? Since i ordered one today....

 

If you don't like it..... David.0 will buy it from you....:devil:

 

The version 2, no. But interestingly enough, Alta is the only company who managed to screw up a reduction pulley with their first generation pulley. If you bought it new from them, it'll be fine, it'll be the improved one, but there original pulley was a disaster. You have to give them props, it takes a fair amount of effort to screw up a pulley. But then again when it comes to making faulty parts, they've always sort of been overachievers.

It's why most of us try to steer people toward people you can trust; Helix for example is one, Craven, etc.

 

I like my long antenna. I was looking at the mount the other day to see if I could adapt a 6 foot CB antenna to it and tie the end off on the front bumper, I think that would look really cool!

 

Thank god you don't own an R53:mad2:

 

What sort of issues? My only issue with the sat radio is it's not as clear as a cd, flash drive, or my iphone. Or the FM radio for that matter. It sounds kinda like a bad burnt cd from back in the day when you could first burn disks, after ripping music from napster.
