$27 new from Ford a few years ago.

But go to Ford now and ask for the XR6T snorkel (same shape, but no wings), and they're around $35.

Ebay is definitely not the place to buy a cheap snorkel...

I got quoted $42 from my local Ford Dealer for a XR6T snorkel.

Even the ones on eBay are around $40 + $10-15 delivery. Easy choice for me.

I got a no-brand one for $50 (delivered) and I thinks its a bit bigger then the tickford one. Not sure though, maybe I should have asked before I bought it . It seems to be good though, it hasnt given me any problems...yet, I'v only had it since Friday.

the one without the tickford wings is the same size. ford disscontinued the ticford wings when they parted company and started making parts without the logo i just found out the adaptive shift decal on the console is even different now for this reason
