Injector Pump Noise Reducer
Has anyone installed one of these on their SS/TC? It sounds like a few Solstice guys have done it and they said it helps dampen that ticking noise the DI produces. Just wondering if it is completely compatible with the SS/TC (should be...same engine...) and if it helps out with the ticking noise...

Just realized the link might not be working correctly. It is part number 12628069. Look it up on CED:

Bump for the edit...

Got mine yesterday while I was at work. I put it on just a couple hours ago.
It does reduce the noise. I mean, if you want to hear that it's working it's not like you CAN'T year it. It's just not as loud.
I'm happy with it.

got mine on aswell, during warm up it still the rapid clicking, audible with hood open, not so much with hood closed, but, once warmed up to operating temp, its significantly quieter, plus this nerfy piece looks alil nicer than the cardboard deal that was one there already, literally took 3mins to put on too.

I put it on this weekend. Fairly easy to install as it was only a few bolts...however, they aren't terribly easy to get to and it took me a few extra minutes to finish because I dropped two of them when reinstalling the metal plate...
When I first put it on there I was pissed because it didn't seem any quieter...however, upon further evaluation, it does help quite a bit. You really have to distinguish the difference between other engine noise and the fuel pump...the loud clicking is almost impossible to hear now compared to the rest of the engine noise (with the hood closed that is)...well worth the $8!

FYI, I took delivery of my 09 SS/TC and it came with the rubberized insulator from the factory.
Here is a pic of my stock factory equipped insulator:
