The Chevy Tahoe average ($171) runs 37% above its median ($125), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Our guide covers 11 model years for the Subaru Outback (2015–2025) but only 8 for the Chevy Tahoe (2018–2025), so the Subaru Outback data reflects a broader range of generations.
Only 57% of Subaru Outback exhaust manifold listings include a posted price (280 of 487 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.
The Subaru Outback exhaust manifold is interchangeable across 17 model years versus just 11 for the Chevy Tahoe — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade B (good) condition, the Subaru Outback is 41% cheaper ($95 vs $160) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used exhaust manifold
- Inspect the casting or tubular welds thoroughly for hairline thermal cracks, especially around collector junctions and bolt holes.
- Check mounting flanges with a straight edge for warping, which causes persistent exhaust leaks even with new gaskets installed.
- Verify oxygen sensor port count, thread condition, and EGR valve port locations, which differ depending on regional emissions equipment.
- Check that cylinder head exhaust port shapes (round vs D-port vs oval) match your engine's cylinder head design.
