What do you mean by loud injectors? When can you hear them?

Noise, I can’t say I have ever heard my injectors. Maybe it’s just the growl coming from my backside that covers the noise. I would rank fuel injectors at a skill rating of 2 it’s as easy as changing a tire.
  • Unbolt fuel rail.
  • Unclip wire connection to each injector
  • Pull injector straight out
  • Push new injector into fuel rail ( I use small amount of grease to help slide on and not damage O-ring)
  • Secure down fuel rail
  • Reclip wires to each injector.

I'd focus on the cam phasers first, they're way more involved and expensive. Though you might be able to replace the injectors at the same time!
