Product Overview
The Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X is a precision-moulded genuine carbon fibre replacement air intake snorkel — the component that draws cold ambient air from outside the engine bay and channels it toward the air filter and turbocharger inlet.
The factory air snorkel in the Mitsubishi Lancer, Ralliart, and EVO X is a plain black ABS plastic unit — functional but entirely uninspiring in a high-performance engine bay.
The Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel replaces this factory plastic unit with genuine woven carbon fibre — significantly reducing the weight of the intake component, improving thermal insulation between the snorkel and engine bay heat sources, and transforming the visual quality of the intake system into something that matches the performance intent of the rest of the build.
The Ralliart branding integrated into the carbon fibre snorkel design adds the authenticity of Mitsubishi’s most celebrated performance division — making this the intake upgrade that performs better, looks exceptional, and carries genuine Mitsubishi motorsport heritage in every drive.
Whether you are building a detailed show Lancer in Sydney, a stage-tuned Ralliart in Melbourne, a track-ready EVO X in Brisbane, or a premium performance build in Perth — the Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel is the engine bay upgrade that delivers on every level.

Why the Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel is the Best Intake Upgrade
The air intake snorkel is one of the most functionally important components in the turbocharger intake system.
It draws ambient air from the cold side of the engine bay — or from external air scoops in motorsport applications — and channels it toward the air filter and ultimately the turbocharger compressor inlet.
The quality, temperature, and volume of air entering through the snorkel directly impacts turbocharger efficiency, boost pressure consistency, and engine output — particularly in the turbocharged Lancer Ralliart and EVO X builds that represent the most popular performance variants across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth.
The factory ABS plastic snorkel conducts heat — allowing engine bay thermal energy to warm the air passing through the snorkel before it reaches the air filter.
The Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X addresses this directly — carbon fibre has significantly superior thermal insulation properties compared to ABS plastic, reducing the thermal transfer from the engine bay environment into the intake air stream.
Cooler intake air is denser — delivering more oxygen per combustion cycle for improved turbocharger response, more consistent boost pressure, and measurable power output improvements on tuned Lancer Ralliart and EVO X builds.

Performance Benefits of the Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel
Cooler Intake Air — Real Performance Gains
The primary performance benefit of the Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X is the reduction in intake air temperature delivered to the turbocharger.
Every degree of reduction in intake air temperature before the compressor inlet means denser, more oxygen-rich air entering the turbocharger — directly contributing to improved boost pressure consistency, better turbocharger efficiency, and measurable power output improvements on tuned Lancer Ralliart and EVO X builds across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth.
Specific Performance Benefits
- Reduced Intake Heat Soak: Carbon fibre thermal insulation reduces engine bay heat transfer into the intake air stream — delivering cooler, denser air to the turbocharger under sustained high-performance driving
- Improved Turbocharger Efficiency: Cooler intake air reduces turbocharger compressor outlet temperatures — improving overall turbocharger efficiency and reducing the thermal load on the intercooler
- More Consistent Boost Pressure: Cooler, denser intake air supports more consistent boost pressure delivery across multiple performance driving events — particularly relevant for track day use at Sydney Motorsport Park, Phillip Island, Queensland Raceway, and Barbagallo in Perth
- Weight Reduction: Genuine carbon fibre is significantly lighter than the factory ABS plastic snorkel — a small but real contribution to overall engine bay weight reduction
- Improved Intake Airflow: The smooth internal bore of the Ralliart carbon fibre snorkel reduces turbulence in the intake air stream — improving volumetric efficiency and reducing restriction compared to factory plastic
Thermal Performance – Carbon Fibre vs ABS Plastic

The Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel outperforms the factory unit in every measurable dimension — thermally, mechanically, visually, and in terms of brand heritage.
The Ralliart Heritage – Why the Branding Matters on Performance Components
The Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel carries the Ralliart name on a genuine performance component — not just a cosmetic accessory.
Ralliart was Mitsubishi’s official motorsport and performance engineering division — responsible for the Lancer Evolution’s World Rally Championship dominance across the 1990s and 2000s, securing four consecutive WRC Manufacturers Championships.
Ralliart engineers developed the intake, turbocharger, and intercooler systems that made the EVO platform one of the most effective all-weather performance platforms in motorsport history.
Fitting a Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel to your Lancer, Ralliart, or EVO X is a tribute to that engineering heritage — and a statement to every enthusiast who opens your bonnet across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth that this build is built on genuine Mitsubishi performance foundations.

Installation Guide – Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel
Installing your Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X is a straightforward direct replacement process. Allow approximately 30–60 minutes with basic mechanical skills.
Required Tools
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Flat head screwdriver
- Hose clamp screwdriver or 7mm socket
- Microfibre cloths
- Isopropyl alcohol (connection point cleaning)
Step-by-Step Installation
- Open and Prop Bonnet: Open the bonnet and safely prop using the factory bonnet stay rod
- Locate Factory Air Snorkel: Identify the factory ABS plastic air intake snorkel — it connects between the external air intake opening and the factory air filter box
- Loosen Intake Clamps: Using a hose clamp screwdriver or 7mm socket, loosen the hose clamps securing the factory snorkel to the air filter box inlet and any other connection points
- Disconnect MAF Sensor Wiring: If the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor is located within the snorkel section, carefully unplug the MAF sensor wiring connector before removal
- Remove Factory Snorkel: Slide the factory ABS plastic snorkel free from its connections — note the exact routing and orientation for reference during installation of the carbon unit
- Clean Connection Points: Wipe all snorkel connection interfaces with isopropyl alcohol — remove all dust, oil, and residue for the best seal quality
- Dry Fit Carbon Snorkel: Position the Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel along the factory snorkel routing — confirm all connection point alignments before securing
- Reconnect MAF Sensor: If applicable, reconnect the MAF sensor wiring connector to the sensor position on the Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel
- Seat All Connections: Push the carbon snorkel firmly into all connection points — confirm full seating at both the air filter box inlet and external air intake opening
- Tighten All Clamps: Tighten all hose clamps firmly — ensure all connections are airtight. Any air leak between the MAF sensor and the turbocharger will cause incorrect fuel mapping and running issues
- Check Routing: Confirm the Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel is routed away from all heat sources, moving components, and electrical wiring
- Final Engine Bay Inspection: Confirm all connections are secure, all clamps are tightened, and the carbon snorkel is correctly positioned and displayed in the engine bay
- Start Engine and Check: Start the engine and listen for any unexpected intake noise — a hissing sound indicates an air leak that must be corrected before driving
⚠️ Important: All intake connections must be completely airtight — any air leak between the MAF sensor and the turbocharger inlet will cause incorrect air-fuel ratio readings, poor running, and potential engine damage. Confirm all clamps are firmly tightened and all connections are fully seated before starting the engine. If the engine runs roughly or the check engine light illuminates after installation, check all connection points for air leaks immediately. Professional installation is recommended across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth for the most precise result.

SEO FAQs – Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X
What is the Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel and what does it do?
The Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X is a genuine carbon fibre replacement for the factory ABS plastic air intake snorkel. It channels cold ambient air from outside the engine bay toward the air filter and turbocharger inlet — with carbon fibre’s superior thermal insulation reducing intake air temperature compared to the factory plastic unit. Cooler intake air means denser air, better turbocharger efficiency, and more consistent boost pressure on tuned Lancer Ralliart and EVO X builds.
Is the Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel a direct replacement for my 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart?
Yes! The Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel is a direct replacement for the factory intake snorkel on all 2008–2017 Mitsubishi Lancer CJ and Lancer Ralliart models, including the 2009 model year. It maintains all factory intake connections and MAF sensor positions — no intake system modification is required.
Is the carbon fibre on the air snorkel genuine or a wrap?
The Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel features genuine woven carbon fibre construction with a UV-resistant high-gloss clear coat — not a carbon vinyl wrap or carbon-look ABS. It is real structural carbon fibre with genuine thermal insulation properties — not a cosmetic replica.
Will the Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel improve performance on my EVO X?
Yes. The Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel delivers measurable intake temperature improvements on the turbocharged EVO X platform — carbon fibre’s thermal insulation properties reduce heat transfer from the engine bay into the intake air stream, delivering cooler, denser air to the turbocharger. On tuned EVO X builds across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, this supports more consistent boost pressure and improved turbocharger efficiency.
Does Bodykitbae ship the Ralliart Carbon Fibre Air Snorkel across Australia?
Yes. We ship Australia-wide from our Blacktown, Sydney NSW warehouse. Sydney and Canberra in 2–4 business days. Melbourne and Brisbane in 3–6 days. Perth and Darwin in 6–10 days. Contact our Sydney team for a specific delivery estimate.
