I can't recall any of the header offerings for the 300 being single outlet.

I used Dynomax headers, I think they were under $150 and they sealed fine.

I have heard of quite a few people using split manifolds from efi engines . they are cheap in the salvage yards in Arkansas. about 30 or 40 dollars a set. As long as you are not modifing to extremly, I have heard these are great.
