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.

Mate, I hope they work beautifully for you. Remember, "when you pay the dough, you run the show." You enjoy and, as you say, if they die, then go back to standard.

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.
