Default Secondary Air Injection Combination Valves???

What are they talking about in this MSN link:
An occasional problem on this vehicle is failure of the Secondary Air Injection Combination Valves. The cost to repair the Secondary Air Injection Combination Valves is estimated at $160 for parts and $156 for labor. All prices are estimates based on $65 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax.<ul><li><a href="http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/Reliability.aspx?modelid=106&amp;src=vip">http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/Reliability.aspx?modelid=106&amp;src=vip</a</li></ul>

Default I think if you take off the cover and look at the coils, on each side you will see one. One inch

black plastic pipe going into them. They feed air from the secondary air pump into the exhaust manifolds.

God only knows if mine are working. If I recall that whole secondary system is to lower emissions untl the car gets up to operating temperature.

They are about $150 a piece.

Is this a smog control or a performance issue?
