The valve is a check valve used for the GM A.I.R system (I think). It is a "Standard Motor Products" part # AV7. Pick an application from the following page that uses the AV7, write down the GM part number, and take it to your favorite parts store.

It should cost less than $15.
I've used mine for about 6 years on the baja. That's a 1600 DP with a tri-mill exhaust, BTW. And it was already starting to rust before I sent it out for ceramic coating (yeah, I sandblasted it first)... the rust you see is under the coating. Next time I will use a NEW exaust system.
