End of the day, if you got them for free and they DON'T crack then bonus!
Every company is going to have some bad/good feedback..its the bloody internet haha.
Funnily enough I remember driving past the DFE factory all the time, always wondered what it was all those years ago.
Considering I the town that I grew up in was primarily holden's and ford's everywhere...it made sense I guess.

If thats really what you think the "moral" of the story is, then i think you missed it all.
Read through the thread. Every point you brought up i re-butted.
In any case, i will keep an eye on it. But in saying that, after the research you directed me to, if i got DPE headers, i would still have to be weary, as it was reported around the same era they also crack.

This is how it went.
Jan 2015- Had OE Tune and 2nd car delete only. Made 285kw on the above dyno.
Aug 2015- Then i get headers fitted. On a DIFFERENT dyno in shootout mode, it made 315kw.
Then i go back to same dyno as i did in Jan 2015, and they dyno in Ramp 200 mode or something, and it made the above 286kw. Then 10 mins later without moving the car, after OE Re-tune, it makes 328kw.
