Can you run low impedance injectors in a high impedance car without resistors?

Can you run low impedance injectors in a high impedance car without resistors?
I bought some supposably high impedance injectors for my s4 gxl. I was using them as primaries and they worked just fine. Well, I sold them to someone and he's saying that they are low impedance injectors, reading 2 ohms on the meter. And I don't understand how they were working in my 88 GXL if they are low impedance. Now the injectors did come with bosch style clips which I used. Is it possible these clips had resistors built into them or something? I bought the injectors from http://www.fiveomotorsport.com/ .

My secondaries are high impedance. But the pimaries apparently are low impedance and I was running these without resistors and my idle and everything was fine.

I don't think running low in a high impedence injectors in a low impedence car effects anything. Recently someone made a thread on how he did that and had no bad effects. I put two high in my low impedence car a couple of weeks ago and notice no bad effects.
Going the other way , high in a low car, I think can cause problems eventually. I THINK you could burn up the inhjector drivers in the ECU doing that under full throttle for long periods. I've no experience doing that myself. I have seen *drivers* in other components burn out when too much current went thru them. Not RX though. Just common sense that you'd eventually burn 'em up though.
