Where the Cadillac CTS intake manifold is listed
We found priced Cadillac CTS intake manifold listings at 145 salvage yards across 29 states. Texas supplies the most, with 88 listings (19% of the total) from 7 yards. Location matters: yards in California ask a median $75, while Ohio yards ask $170, 127% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Cadillac CTS intake manifold cost?
Asking prices for a used Cadillac CTS intake 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 1% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $101.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 3.6L, VIN S (8th digit, opt LGX), lists at a $91 median, while 3.6L, VIN 8 (8th digit, opt LF3, twin turbo) commands $300, a 230% 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 $91, while 2015 tops the table at $130. Parts from 2013–2023 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 11 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Cadillac CTS sits 45% below the Mercedes S Class ($181), 57% below the Ram 3500 ($235), and 21% 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.
