This has never been discussed before. I never really thought about the reception of different antennas, I just figured they are all the same. No I didn't because I used the freegin search button

S2000 Antenna gives the same reception quality as the Ughapoo looking OEM Scion rat tail.
Don't buy the no name shorty aluminum ones on eBay and the local auto parts store for they are truly pieces of crap that don't pull in any signals.

I didn't notice any difference, but I only used the stock one for the drive home then I put on the s2000 one.

you know that element antennas and s2000 antennas are pretty much the same besides the little "head" at the top of the s2k antenna?

The ones on ebay do suck i have heard nothing but bad things about them plus theyre more expensive than honda OEM!!!

I found that with the s2000 antenna i was able to recieve satellite signals. I was able to listen in to the muir space station only problem was that I could not understand russian! Joking of course.

The reception is the same if not better.
