i agree i get bad reception with my perrin shorty, but i listen to my ipod most the time

 

I have the JDM 7 shorty antenna, and when i switch to it from stock it got noticeably worse

 

I just put on my perrin 4 inch... Seems the same to me.

 

I have an ebay 3" carbon antenna, and, as expected, reception is definitely worse than stock. However, it's worth it to me not have the R/C toy car look.

Here's an option:

requires a ground and 12 source, though.

Don't bother with the gunmetal colour Agency Power antenna, BTW. Mine faded to silver in a few months.

 

I have the 4 inch, the reception isn't as good as the stock one but it's not that much different...worth the look anyway

 

4" is the way to go then

 

I have the 4" and it sucks.....but it looks good

 

why do you guy spend $38 dollar on the perrin antenna or any other brand when you can just cut the slim (thin) part of your stock antenna and just leave the bottom part which is exactly 4 inch length and now you have a clean *** looking shorty and no stactic and reception is just the same as before without spending a dime

 

I have the perrin 4" and my radio works fine, even the HD channels.

 

because thats rice. we own evo's not hondas...

 

4" Perrin - same reception as stock antenna with a Pioneer AVIC-N3

 

I have the 4 inch but idk if its worse than stock because I bought it before I even had the car lol

 

2" Perrin here, paint matched WW, and works fine untill you get 50 miles out of the city.

 

I have an ebay shorty and my reception is the same as the stock one...

 

I have the 4" and I've had zero issues...
