Why Shorty Antenna?

The factory antenna on the WRX, STi, and Forester is tall and functional, but it disrupts the clean lines of your Subaru and creates unnecessary wind noise at highway speeds. The PERRIN Shorty Antenna solves both issues with a stubby 2-inch mast that dramatically improves appearance while reducing aerodynamic drag and wind noise.

OEM Pivoting Base:

Unlike some shorty antennas that use a fixed base, the PERRIN antenna includes an OEM-style pivoting base that allows the antenna to fold down when needed. This maintains the factory functionality and provides flexibility for car washes, low clearances, or any situation where you want to fold the antenna down.

Radio Reception:

Despite the shorter length, the PERRIN Shorty Antenna maintains excellent FM radio reception in most areas. The 2-inch mast is optimized to provide the best balance between appearance and reception. In areas with strong FM signals, you'll notice no difference. In areas with weaker signals, you may experience slightly reduced reception on some stations, but most users report excellent performance.

Improved Aerodynamics:

The shorter antenna reduces aerodynamic drag and wind noise, especially at highway speeds. While the difference is subtle, many owners report a quieter cabin and slightly improved fuel economy after installing a shorty antenna. The reduced drag also means less stress on the antenna mount.

Car Wash Safe:

The PERRIN Shorty Antenna is built to withstand automatic car washes, hand washing, and all weather conditions. The durable construction and secure mounting ensure the antenna stays in place and maintains its appearance even after years of use.
