Market analysis
Why does the Honda CRV exhaust manifold cost more?
A used Honda CRV exhaust manifold carries a median asking price of $800, which is 86% higher than the Ford Explorer at $111. Supply also plays a role: Ford Explorer has 713 priced listings versus 24 for Honda CRV, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Honda CRV average ($917) runs 15% above its median ($800), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Only 47% of Ford Explorer exhaust manifold listings include a posted price (713 of 1,507 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.
The Ford Explorer exhaust manifold is interchangeable across 15 model years versus just 8 for the Honda CRV — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Ford Explorer is 85% cheaper ($116 vs $750) — 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.
