Where the Acura RDX intake manifold is listed
We found priced Acura RDX intake manifold listings at 120 salvage yards across 30 states. California supplies the most, with 241 listings (39% of the total) from 34 yards.

Market analysis
How much does a used Acura RDX intake manifold cost?
Asking prices for a used Acura RDX intake manifold are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 9 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 32% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $66.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (3.5L), lower (injector base), LH (front), lists at a $51 median, while (3.5L), upper commands $175, a 243% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $50, while 2015 tops the table at $95. Parts from 2007–2018 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 12 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Acura RDX sits 59% below the Mercedes S Class ($181), 68% below the Ram 3500 ($235), and 40% below the Mercedes E Class ($126) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used intake manifold: what to check
- Inspect composite runners for heat cracks: Examine plastic manifolds for oil-softened walls, heat cracks, or snapped vacuum port nipples along the plenum.
- Verify variable runner flap operation: Move variable intake runner flap linkages and vacuum actuators by hand to ensure internal butterfly valves rotate freely.
- Check rubber gasket groove channels: Examine sealing channels around cylinder head intake ports to ensure plastic retaining walls are not chipped.
- Confirm sensor port and throttle flange fit: Match vacuum line nipples, manifold absolute pressure sensor mounts, and throttle body bolt dimensions.
- Install new molded rubber port gaskets: Replace all port seals and throttle body gaskets with fresh silicone seals to prevent lean engine vacuum leaks.
