Default Used Injectors?

Just curious as to who has bought used injectors and what kind of luck you have had with them? Do you think it is worth the extra appx. $100 to just get brand new ones. Thanks

For $100 buy new. How ever if it was saving you $200+ I would buy used. Whens the last time you had a injector fail. Think back of how many injectors you've owned on your cars over the years. If your really trying to pinch pennies buy used and save $100. But if you can afford the extra $100 buy new.

Used injs that have been left w/ fuel in them, can/will get sticky. A short time in that condition is usually not a problem.
Depending on the brand, some sets are close, some not..Especially when you are getting into really large flow rates.
If you are buying new, big injs, I'd recommend spending a few $ more and getting a flow matched set....
