How did you come to the conclusion it was the injectors?

That sound difference is the cylinder not running with the injector unplugged it wont be firing and with the coil pack broke it wont be firing.

I would get it scanned. Swap a coil packs to cy1 to see if it changes.

I would say swap the coils just to be sure. Then lead from there. I have heard of new coils break quickly.
