Test, THEN clean

I would change one thing at a time and reset the ECU in between.

As for a rough idle, that can be caused by many things. Vacuum leak, fuel system problem (not necessarily injectors), clogged throttle body, etc.

I highly doubt that at idle, an exhaust leak after the O2 sensors would have any affect on idle performance.

You car would probably benefit from a total fuel system service. Call around to the shops and see who performs the following:
Fuel pump pressure AND volume test.
Pressure regulator test.
Isolated fuel line cleaning.
De-carbonizing through the fuel injector rail and intake.

Not many shops get that involved with a fuel service but it will breath new life into your engine if they do.
