Market analysis
How much does a used Acura RDX exhaust manifold cost?
Asking prices for a used Acura RDX exhaust manifold sit in a fairly tight band around the $240 median, so most quotes far outside it deserve a second look.
Model year matters too: 2017 units carry the lowest median at $195, while 2018 tops the table at $250. Parts from 2014–2018 are interchangeable, so if the 2017 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 5 compatible years.

Buying a used exhaust manifold: what to check
- Inspect runner webbing for thermal cracks: Check between cylinder port runners for stress cracks caused by extreme engine heat cycles.
- Check cylinder head flange flatness: Lay a straightedge across the mounting flange to check for warping that will cause persistent exhaust gas leaks.
- Verify catalytic converter substrate condition: Look inside integrated converter manifolds to confirm the ceramic honeycomb catalyst is intact and un-melted.
- Check oxygen sensor port thread condition: Ensure oxygen sensor threads are clean and not cross-threaded or stripped out by previous sensor removal.
- Install new exhaust studs and steel gaskets: Replace rusted cylinder head studs, brass nuts, and multi-layer steel gaskets to guarantee a leak-free seal.
