Some ideas:
remove O2, look with borescope
measure temp drop across cat
listen for rattling
measure emissions

How did yours fail? Did they break into pieces ? Did they cause a rattle in the exhaust ?
Also, yes, you are right I do not expect those cheap cats to be as high quality as the original ones ; but I can still replace the pair 3 times for the price of just a single original one.... So I am more than happy to take the risk.... I hope they will last 7,500miles .... that would be already quite an achievement for such a cheap solution, otherwise they did come with a 3 year warranty anyway !
I'll keep you guys posted on whatever happens in the future

Thanks again for your help !

Cheers,
On xkr if you monitor your boost if boost value start going up , you got catalytics choking up. You can always take them out and just look through them to see if good see through or melted.
