I have two questions...

A. I sawed off my muffler awhile back, and i was wondering if it effects my acceleration.

B. my ABS light is on.... I ran some code thing on it... and it was really... really vague .... do you think its my ABS pump?

Sawing off your muffler or cat, can, not always though effect exhaust backpressure. Which in turn effects cylinder scavenging, and it effects performance of the car.

As for this other question. What code did you get when you ran the scanner. Your asking us to take a wild guess if you need a new pump basically.

Pumps can cost over $1500 for the part alone, so you better not have a shread of doubt if your replacing it.

You must be talking about a 24k gold plated ABS pump?
Or possibly in Yen?


Rockauto.com has them for $249.

You can not get an ABS light from sawing off your muffler. Simple as that. You may have a bad sensor. The ABS does not just go bad. It has to take a pretty good hit for it to be damaged.
