Where the Subaru WRX intake manifold is listed
We found priced Subaru WRX intake manifold listings at 170 salvage yards across 36 states. California supplies the most, with 656 listings (21% of the total) from 24 yards. Location matters: yards in California ask a median $75, while Michigan yards ask $210, 180% 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 Subaru WRX intake manifold cost?
Asking prices for a used Subaru WRX 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 68% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $136.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 2.0L, lower, RH, lists at a $88 median, while 2.5L, lower (with motor), RH commands $175, a 99% 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 $122, while 2022 tops the table at $190. Parts from 2014–2021 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 8 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Subaru WRX sits 31% below the Mercedes S Class ($181), 47% below the Ram 3500 ($235), and 1% 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.
