They're actually printed by ShapeWays, and they are considerably higher than the OEM funnel, that's what makes the smoke flow work. The mount is shorter than the OEM mount, which makes it all work out. I did have to ream out the stacks a bit on the shell for the new stacks to slide in.
As far as the temperature, they really shouldn't get super hot, at least as long as the fan runs.

OK I get it now; did not realize the whole smoke unit sits lower in the engine. Cool. That video shows it all off nicely; looks like a huge improvement! Hope you had your train room exhaust fan running!!

Lowering the smoke unit might not be an option in some engines where the fan motor is already really close to the frame plate. The LM Challenger is a good example.
