Market analysis
Why does the Hyundai Kona exhaust manifold cost more?
A used Hyundai Kona exhaust manifold carries a median asking price of $295, which is 61% higher than the Ram 1500 at $115. Supply also plays a role: Ram 1500 has 1,092 priced listings versus 23 for Hyundai Kona, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Ram 1500 average ($144) runs 25% above its median ($115), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Our guide covers 8 model years for the Ram 1500 (2018–2025) but only 3 for the Hyundai Kona (2019–2023), so the Ram 1500 data reflects a broader range of generations.
Only 25% of Hyundai Kona exhaust manifold listings include a posted price (23 of 91 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.
The Ram 1500 exhaust manifold is interchangeable across 17 model years versus just 6 for the Hyundai Kona — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Ram 1500 is 58% cheaper ($125 vs $295) — 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.
