Like many here I'm looking for a RA Snorkel for my non turbo Lancer.
Checked with local wreckers and online so if anyone has a lead on one or is selling one I might be interested at the right price.
I'm on the Sunshine coast, Caloundra but willing to travel to Brisbane or pay shipping.

Not sure if I checked them out, how much do they sell them for?
I guess they are new, are they going to be cheaper at a wreckers if they can be found?

I think they are around the $135 mark, not sure but I think that might be about the price. But just message AK Racing, they are pretty decent at getting back to quickly.

Okay just got a reply, wasn't expecting anything until Monday.
Anyway they are out but it's about $150, they might have a special price next month or could do a bulk buy. I asked for some more details so who might be interested?

Might be about $115 plus $15 shipping (depending on your state).
I don't know how to organize a group buy, so maybe someone else can help?

How much is the price normally?

For $115 I'd be in for one.

From what I gather their price depends on the supplier so it varies from $115 to $150 plus shipping.
Maybe if we can get a group order in the price will be closer to $115 but again I don't know how you normally do the whole group buy thing.
Does anyone know what Mitsy charges for them?

You might need a RA VIN to get the snorkel from Mitsubishi what I could find though is:
Part Number: 1505A265
Duct Air Clean
RRP: A$132+

I thought it would have been a lot higher that that, but how do we tell how different they are, the AK on and the genuine one from Mitsy?
I do have a RA VIN, so easy. I've got an app where I can enter any QLD rego number and it shows me not only the make/model but also the VIN!
Still worth looking into other options like AK but based on the genuine price ($132) I'd much rather that and you can claim it's a proper part and not a cheap copy.
Yes I know you could get one at a wrecker cheaper but like I said at the start there are not many around and you'd have to be very lucky to get one.
