I would visit Majestic Honda's web site:

FWIW, I understand you not wanting to undersell your parts but
unfortunately you most likely will. When I sold my stock exhaust manifold,
I got $20 (USD) for it (plus shipping) and I included the heat shield which
is around $80 (USD). I believe the dealer sells it new for around $200
(USD) without the heat shield.
On the other hand, I was happy to get that boat anchor out of my garage.
Ironically, I have another stock exhaust manifold from a 1990 CRXsi (US)
complete with heat shields sitting in my garage ~ I helped another CRX
owner do an exhaust manifold installation. The wife and I thought about
cleaning it up and making either a planter out of it or part of a
fountain. :^)
Anyways, all the spare parts that I usually retain (and I still have parts
from my pervious non-Honda cars), I end up trading them for other parts or
selling them for practically nothing often times just giving them away. In
fact, that's what I did with my stock catalytic converter. I forget who it
was on this list but he was in need of one (even one that was high mileage)
so I shipped him out mine. I think I told him that he owes me lunch the
next time I'm ever out in his area. :^)
BOL!
