They aren't!!

They occasionally come up on ebay or the forums but get snapped up pretty quick as for the money they are a cracking bit of kit.

That wasn't the case at all, FPMSL Nice claim though hahahahahahaah!!

After endurance testing, whilst the car was standing the heat from the tubular manifold melted the fans and lambda sensors. Ford then changed for the cast log manifold to prevent these issues.

Gains from it are easily comparable to much more expensive manifolds, yes its not the most aesthetically pleasing but mine is fully wrapped and looks pretty tidy.
Cylinders 2+3 dont fire at the same time so I dont see their design being an issue.
