    Based on price alone, absolute junk. Get yours cleaned and consider it done.

    I agree. I had mine cleaned last year and it made a difference.

    My engine ate one of the tips, it fell off and went through the combustion process. I'm sure a shop can replace but I've heard even after a sonic clean and balance within months they go all over the map again. Price seems way too low to me as well, but we all know a part in a yellow box is 5x the price of the same part in the brown box.

    With my motor also melting an exhaust valve (not same cylinder injector tip is missing from) I'm concerned about the injectors causing the melted valve.

    Yellow box or not. When I sent my injectors off for rebuild without mentioning the car they came off the vendor said geez these are off something special when I went to collect them. The 2.7 has higher flowing injectors too IIRC.

    Generally you get what you pay for.
    As others have said get yours cleaned.
    I do mine every engine out.

    Yes but there are no quality injectors that cost $6.50 each. I've tried tuning a few cars with cheap knock off injectors like this and it's impossible.

    Knowing what i know about Ferrari after many years of ownership I think if they could have used 7 dollar injectors they actually might have.
    The they would have charged only 100 eachfor them.

    As James has said stay away.

    Send old injectors to Mt Injector to refurbish them. Unless you can find new OEM ones it's likely the best option. I have read out here about folks with the multi ole injectors and having issues with the car running correctly. Run some searches.

    100% agree. Mine are being cleaned, spray pattern and leak tested, new o rings, spacers and pintle caps
