I am looking for a shorty antenna form my 16 ram. Looking for a quality product that looks good and has a good fit. Something around 12" would be fine. Suggestions?

I had put a 13" on mine but the whistling at Highway speeds was horrible ended up putting original back on. Not sure how the other shorter ones are.

I also did a thin metal one that was 4" - don't use the radio too often but in the mornings and but never had any reception issues.

Mine looks like someone just cut down a factory antenna. It doesn't have a bulky black plastic piece around it.

Mine is 3" and black plastic. Reception is okay but it looks great. I usually use XM anyways

I use the 4" shorter, far knowing that reception sucks!! I only listen to XM so that isn't the issue, I also like the fact I can put my truck cover on it with the shorty

No whistling at highway speeds? What is the brand of the antenna?

No, it doesn't produce any wind noise...

I think it was Scosche...it comes with a new base/antenna wire, etc. but all you use is the mast. Remove existing mast and replace with this one.
