Brilliant cost cutting. On an air cooled engine no less. 
Ask the dumbasses if they are willing to install the HPI aluminum manifold in its place. It won't melt.
At the same time, I recommend looking into whether the bike is overheating due to sumping, which could easily raise temps to the point the manifold melts,

And note that the 64mm SE manifold for the M8 is also aluminum; think they might have known something?
