The Dodge Charger average ($189) runs 26% above its median ($150), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Only 58% of Dodge Charger exhaust manifold listings include a posted price (1,311 of 2,244 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Dodge Charger is 26% cheaper ($143 vs $193) — the gap narrows 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.
