Pretty sure it's the ABS system. One pipe goes to each wheel.
it looks pretty close to this ABS controller here: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/anti-lock-brake1.htm

(yeah, i'm a retard... still trying to figure out how cars work so I go to sites like that)

The picture shows the ABS distribution block. Technically there are 6 pipes shown on the picture, 2 lines for the Brake master cyclinder, 2 lines for the front wheels, and 2 lines for the rear wheels. First, the 4 lines for the wheels goes to a porportioining valve which does exactly what the part is titled, it portportions, depending on the design, porportions how much brake fluid and force goes into the front and rear wheels.
