Found possible source of radio problem

I've always thought that my radio had poor reception. I first blamed it on the stock radio unit. But when I replaced the stock unit with a Kenwood and the reception was still poor, I figured the problem had to be somewhere in the car. I'm not a huge fan of listening to the radio anyway (I prefer CD's) so I decided to just live with the problem.

Well, today, while at work, I had one of the guys do an oil change for me. I took a peek at my underbody and noticed the the radio ground strap that attaches to the muffler had rotted in half. I reconnected the two pieces with some electrical tape (for now). I haven't tried the radio yet (it's still on the lift) but I bet that fixes it.....

Now you'll probably hear your muffler in stereo...

Stereo muffler, eh? That would be cool


That did fix my reception problem. Anyone who thinks they have lousy reception should take a look at their grounding strap on the right side of the muffler.
