Honda's quality has been sinking over the last few years which the are able to offset by offering really good-looking models. And still, I would not buy aftermarket injectors because they very well may be worse that those OEM. I wouldn't go to a local dealer either - go on-line and find Japanese parts for like $100/piece. As far as replacement goes, it's no biggie - all you need to do is to pull the air cleaner housing and the fuel rail. Just make sure you relieve fuel pressure prior to disconnecting the line. If your car doesn't have a service valve - Hondas usually don't - warp a connector with a rag, and loosen it slightly. Also, make sure the battery is disconnected, and there are no other sources of sparks anywhere.

Higher flowing injectors are needed only when you have done other modifications like adding a turbocharger that requires more fuel.Putting higher flowing injectors on an otherwise stock engine is pointless. In fact, your mixture will be too rich (too much fuel and not enough air) which will lead to poor furl economy, pollution, and a poorly running car.

You cannot put larger fuel injectors on a stock/slightly modified motor without some type of aftermarket fuel management system. The larger injectors will flow more fuel causing the engine to run rich. This will just pretty much drown the cylinder with unused gas and send your fuel economy down the toilet.

if your looking to replace your injectors. check out this web site I found www.fuelinjector.citymaker.com they display all their prices and have flow charts that will tell you how many cc/min the injector flows. its really helpful if your looking for an upgrade.
