I have read somewhere that with the new facelift they have used different injectors..is this true? if so is it good or bad? I like the new lux but I knew it was going to be this noisy I would have looked at the competition.

First post other than my intro, so please be gentle. I've tried the search feature for a few days now and haven't been able to find what I'm after.
The lux has a terrible case of the death rattle. It's got about 100k kms on it, and it's ridiculously loud, especially when cold. Not blowing smoke or anything, but concerning nonetheless. Sometimes the rattle goes once it reaches operating temp, but sometimes it doesn't too. More recently it hasn't been going, it's not as loud when it's reached temperature, but it's there nonetheless. Is there anything else I should look at before getting the injectors replaced?
I just got back from my local Toyota and got a quote for about $3500 for all injectors, injector lines, rocker covers, fuel filter etc. Basically the whole package. Just wondering if this is a decent price (in comparison, as no price for injectors is decent).
They also tried to get me to replace the fuel (or injector?) pump, which would've brought the quote up to about $5600. No way I was keen on doing that.
Thanks in advance team.
