Yeah, The AVC is a large component of the exhaust system. From what I understand, it routes fresh air to the cats to produce cleaner fumes. (non technical babble)... When mine was bad, I could smell gas from the back, I happened to borrow one from a buddy of mine to pass smog tests here.... and the fumes were clean as warm air.
ohh yeahh... the ACV is pretty damn expensive, try borrowing one form someone.. b/c it's about $300 from mazdatrix new!!

I took the ACV off my GSL-SE. I can check if I still have it lying around. Dunno if it is in any better shape than yours as we don't have to pass emissions tests in MI.

Air Control Valve. It either takes air from or puts extra air into the exhaust.
Here are two pictures I just took of mine. It looks like this and goes where the gold plate is here. Comes off with a 10mm wrench, but helpes to remove the air intake tube temporarily.
