I've never heard of the RCM ones cracking and my mechanic uses them on his rally car.

They can crack if you don't have a slip jointed up-pipe fitted.

RCM headers are GT spec 2 and they are very robust, the only problems I have seen are when the tie bars on the cross pipes fracture, but the headers piping themselves is robust

cheers
