Default Fuel injectors clean or remanufactured ?

I would like to do something about my fuel injectors, they look original and the plastic looks very brittle.
I see a set of six remanufactured ones that have four holes (called an upgrade) on Ebay pretty cheap ($99)
Is it worth it to buy the remanufacured ones or should I just pull mine off and clean them?

Thanks for any advice.

If your's are the OEMs with a single hole, then I have heard that the 4 holes will be a good upgrade, if yours are already 4 holes I personally will have them cleaned and checked before buying another set.

Send a PM to Programbo here, he can set you up with some rebuilt injectors for a better price I think.

4-hole injectors are generally received as a good upgrade. People with horribly clogged dirty injectors see a huge change. Regardless if yours are cracking it's time to replace 'em before you have a fire!

Ok, Thanks for the info. I dont know the condition of them, but they look original and the engine has over 200,000 on it.
Also, If I switch to the four hole, will that have any affect on passing smog (California) I dont want to do anything that would alter my chances of passing smog, although it sounds like it would actually be a benefit.

When I am ready I will inquire with Programbo.

Thanks everyone.
