A used Hyundai Kona intake manifold carries a median asking price of $211, which is 41% higher than the Subaru WRX at $125. Supply also plays a role: Subaru WRX has 1,816 priced listings versus 470 for Hyundai Kona, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.

The Subaru WRX average ($144) runs 15% above its median ($125), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.

Our guide covers 10 model years for the Subaru WRX (2015–2024) but only 8 for the Hyundai Kona (2018–2025), so the Subaru WRX data reflects a broader range of generations.

At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Subaru WRX is 36% cheaper ($136 vs $211) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.

Buyer's checklist

What to check before buying a used intake manifold

  • Inspect composite or metal manifolds for hairline heat cracks, blown runner gaskets, or oil soaking inside the plenum from bad PCV systems.
  • Verify throttle body flange bolt pattern, MAP sensor mounting port, and vacuum port locations across model years and engine generations.
  • Check variable intake runner flaps (IMTV or DISA valves) and actuator vacuum bladders or electric motors for proper movement without binding.
  • Examine head mounting flanges for warping or deep gouges that prevent a vacuum-tight seal against the intake gaskets.
