Market analysis

How much does a used Kia Sportage exhaust manifold cost?

Asking prices for a used Kia Sportage exhaust manifold are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 236% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $286.

Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $227, while 2015 tops the table at $1,400. Parts from 2014–2016 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 3 compatible years.

Against comparable vehicles, the Kia Sportage sits 470% above the GMC Sierra 1500 ($71), 440% above the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($75), and 224% above the Ram 3500 ($125) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.

Buying a used exhaust manifold: what to check

  1. Inspect runner webbing for thermal cracks: Check between cylinder port runners for stress cracks caused by extreme engine heat cycles.
  2. Check cylinder head flange flatness: Lay a straightedge across the mounting flange to check for warping that will cause persistent exhaust gas leaks.
  3. Verify catalytic converter substrate condition: Look inside integrated converter manifolds to confirm the ceramic honeycomb catalyst is intact and un-melted.
  4. Check oxygen sensor port thread condition: Ensure oxygen sensor threads are clean and not cross-threaded or stripped out by previous sensor removal.
  5. 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.
