Were you trying to buy the lower half of the airbox as well? Cause you don't need it, you just cut some of your original airbox away. I think for me, the snorkel section and the intake pipe were about $60-$65 and then $3 each for the rivets to hold it in place (from Holden).

Sometimes you can pick them up on ebay for not too much more than *most* holden places charge. $129 is just robbery. Its shocking how holden part prices vary so much from dealer to dealer

You can buy the whole lot cheaper via Egay. High flow airbox, snorkel and connector.

i got mine at claridge holden for around $70 and got a box to cut up from the wreckers cheap.
dont pay $130 thats just plain daylight robbery.

For the most part, I have found Holden prices competitive. But in some cases (i.e. temp sensors) their prices are way over the top. When I went to buy my CAI, Holden wanted to charge me $130, and I pointed out I could get a genuine one on ebay for just over half the price - Holden then beat the ebay price. That said, I had been buying a fair bit off them at the time, but it can't hurt to ask - but be prepared to walk and buy it elsewhere if they won't come to the party.

its a bit odd considering i bought mine from a liscenced holden dealer for normal price , you would think they would be overcharging aswell.
