Default Anyone with a River Raider snorkel?

I was looking at pictures on River Raider's site and was wondering: where did the radio antenna go? Does the snorkel kit relocate it or do you just do without?

If you have sat radio, no need for it...If still want am/fm you can bend it with many windshield lights and the AEV, not sure about the RR though...I think the RR looks great and people love them, but it is OBSCENELY EXPENSIVE imo

Love mine, even better mileage and performance than when I had a CAI.

I am just without an FM ant. Who needs one when you have a Hard drive full of music ipod full of southpark and lockpick so you can watch it on the mygig. Oh yeah 150 channels of sirius/xm

you can put it under the hood right on the inside of the fender....I didnt bother I use the sirius all the time. I did however install an antenna booster but never hooked up the electric for it, I could use that instead of the metal antenna. Someone did a write up on here for it.

here is the link for the amplified antenna

Like everyone else said, it gets mounted on the inside of the fender and works just as good as the stock location.

I wish I could show a picture for you... but I have a supercharger so my battery is moved to the front of the engine bay, and the stock battery tray is history. You would have to mount it sideways, but there is provisions for that form RR, included in the kit. No wiring is needed just the included tray.
And of course a three inch hole saw and 1/2 inch drill, and the ability to hold your breath for a few minutes when you go to first cut through your fender...LOL
