I heard the L300 is an easy manifold conversion if you aren't going DOHC. Tho, I know some of the manifold's you need to customise the throttle body so that the Throttle cable will work. Is this type pretty much Bolt-on compared to the others?

Yes the 300 manifold is the easiest to use BUT the Gallant/Hyundai is far better.
FYI/FWIW I had a custom plenum and runners bolted to the bottom 1/2 of a 300.
So ultimately it's up to you as to how far you want to go.

the L300 manifold is easier to fit, but not as good at making a lot of power as the sonata manifold is, due to the plenum being much smaller.

the challenges with the sonata manifold are:
- you will need to block off the throttle body side of it and cut the opposite side and attach the throttle body there, so that it faces forward on a north-south mounted motor, as in our starions and any rear drive mitsu.
- You will need a longer pipe from the intake to the radiator, and this pipe full of hot water will tend to heat up your intake charge a tad perhaps.

If I remember correctly, the L300 will be good for about 150-160ish rwkw before it becomes a choking point, where the sonata manifold and net you maybe about 20rwkw more.

To overcome this, the l300 can be installed to complete the mpi upgrade, and then modded with a larger plenum later down the track - this is better than the sonata manifold - perhaps the best MPI setup, as you can make the plenum larger for more power, and the water piping is closer to the radiator top hose
