Where can i get a decent shorty antenna that gets good signal?

My buddy got one for his SS/TC and the signal sucks donkey dick.

Any suggestions?

 

which brand does he have? I have been looking into getting the ARK performance one but I feel like all of them will not be OEM functioning but as long as I don't have static all the time I would be ok cause I use the CD player more than the radio.

 

ARK performance. Reception didn't change at all for me.

 

^sick! that's what I was hoping cause they looks gangstafied!

 

I just cut my stocker, and honestly I don't notice any loss. *shrug*

 

^I did that with a spare I got from another GM car and it looks tacky.... take pics of yours to show, yours might look ok.

 

I'll take a pic after work for ya. Doesn't look amazing, but I don't think it stands out either. I just couldnt stand having a cell tower on my trunk. Lol

 

How could a cut stocker look tacky? Just put a cap on it and it looks stock... less tacky than the aftermarket shorties which are thicker.



Zomg so tacky.

 

I have the Ark antenna. Signal is fine for me.

I usually lose reception to Oshawa's KX96 by around Milton. pretty decent..

 

same here

 

dammit acey why didnt i see that on your car when you've passed me in town... **** i just ordered a ark shorty hahaha

 

I have a modern performance antenna. cheaper and great reception

 

^^This. I bought mine for $19.

 

MPx (Modern Performance). Good reception. Good price cant beat $19 looks just as good as ARK.

 

I was looking at both Modern Performance and ARK...final decision must be made.. *dun dun dun*

 

MPx Don don

 

imo, ark is the best/most oem looking. A cut stocker just doesn't look right, and others are just too bulky.

 

I got a used ARK one off of a member on here for dirt cheap...works great...no loss of reception at all for me.

 

Just to let you guys know ARK is a nonfunctional antenna.

My reception is worse with it but I listen to XM anyways

 

If it's so nonfunctional...why does mine function perfectly?

Side note: XM sucks...as does all satellite radio.

 

Yeah my ark works great.

However, how could you possibly hate the endless convenience and quality of XM/Sirius?! : O

 

Just saying.

Using this Antenna you can get rid of your over-sized factory antenna - Special look on your ride
Also available different color : Silver - ALL Billet powerder coated aluminum
Only for 7 mm Female bolt pattern
Please check your bolt fitting before place order.
Appearance use only- Perfect fitting no adapter need
ARK decal included

 

I think what they mean by that is that it's not going to "improve" your stock reception in any way.

And Satellite sucks because...they play the same **** I can listen to on the regular radio...for free...My dad had sirius...it sucked...I had XM...it sucked equally.

 

I agree, I dont see the interest with XM. I can never fin a song I like, and whenever its cloudy or I drive under a tree it cuts out...

Ipod w/ the auxilary cable is what its all about! 1000songs that I like w/ no commercials or bullshit, and absolutely no static

 

Whatever MY experience is I get less reception than stock.

Satellite radio is good for me cause I go through deserts and hills where there aren't any radio stations available
