Hyundai Elantra Forum The Hyundai Elantra Forum. Later models (96-up) of this 4-door share their Beta engines and chassis with the Hyundai Tiburon. Earlier Mistubishi-based Hyundai Elantras (92-95) are perfect candidates for the popular 4g63t motor swap, which turns the Hyundai Elantra into a real sleeper. These characteristics make the Hyundai Elantra a great car for those who want sports car performance with family car flexibility.

I want a new antenna but I dont want my signal to go to crap. Which of these 2 would have the better signal? I know nothing will be as good as the OEM antenna but I want something a little different.



Rubber Antenna





Shorty (S2000) style

The second looks better, the first may provide a better signal.



Go with the second.



My car came with an "internal" antenna that was littpe more than a ferite core in a fancy plastic box, and it was good enough for the stereo the guy had in it.



You could also put in an electric antenna like I'm going to be doing, more than enough room.

I had an S2000 shorty antenna on my Tib, and never once lost a signal. Then again...I mostly watched music videos on dvd instead of listening to regular conventional radio.
