I've taken a look at the advertising for the cheap DICs as well as other low cost parts - and I could readily see why someone might think they are getting a quality part, as the claims are that they match or in many cases exceed oem specs , the one touted a 24 rain test for a dic or something totally stupid.
Problem is oems often don't list specs for a lot of these parts so the knock offs are pretty much free to make whatever claim they wish to.
Given what you say about the difficulty in replacing the cat on some 9-5s agree best to stay away from the cheap ones.
I'm still surprised no one has rebuilt these things given the coil breakdown seems to be the predominant cause of failure. But the high temps must also stress the other electronic components to the point that replacing only the coils isn't reliable.
