    ok wasn't sure the plug is the same other mating parts don't look same, im not worried where it goes into manifold, but where they go into the fuel rail looks different

    They will work, but you will need harness adaptors to use them with your fuel injector harness on your car.

    sounds like more than a pain than it's probably worth?

    Never mind then. Those looked like then new "pencil style" injectors in your pic. Those had different wiring connectors than the harness in a fox.

    So why use the pic. If they're 24# they should look almost exact as the stock ones, just a different color.

    I did a little research they are just a newer style and supposedly more efficient, they are also for the bigger sizes they make them up to 160 lbs and they will work in my car, also they are 27 lb not 24
