Market analysis
Why does the Acura MDX exhaust manifold cost more?
A used Acura MDX exhaust manifold carries a median asking price of $325, which is 56% higher than the Dodge Challenger at $144. Supply also plays a role: Dodge Challenger has 1,615 priced listings versus 65 for Acura MDX, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 94% of Acura MDX listings compared to 67% for the Dodge Challenger, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Acura MDX side.
The Dodge Challenger average ($183) runs 27% above its median ($144), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Our guide covers 9 model years for the Dodge Challenger (2015–2023) but only 7 for the Acura MDX (2015–2023), so the Dodge Challenger data reflects a broader range of generations.
Only 66% of Dodge Challenger exhaust manifold listings include a posted price (1,615 of 2,459 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.
The Dodge Challenger exhaust manifold is interchangeable across 15 model years versus just 8 for the Acura MDX — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Dodge Challenger is 54% cheaper ($150 vs $325) — 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.
