Default ABS lights on

I finished installing springs and berk test pipe tonight took the car for a drive, and the ABS light is on unplugged bat; still on i have no clue?

Also i changed out my megans test pipe becasue it was always rattling because the resonator and installed the berks test pipe w/ my invida the exhaust now the car sounds raspy and wierd is this because the test pipe isnt on all the way tight or can it be a different issue somewhere else let me kno. This is going to be an allday project tomorrow

Check the sensors at each wheel...did you tighten them down? Check the wires from the sensors...it is very easy to damage or break them when changing shocks. Check the toothed ring on the hub that the sensor reads...a damaged tooth can throw the ABS ecu off.

When doing FRONT suspension replacement, it is very important to unbolt the sensor wire where it bolts to the car (10mm). If not, when you pull the two front upper a-arm bolts to pull the arm back, you will very easily break this wire internally.

i think he is talking about your wheel speed sensor wires..

even tho the wire looks strong.. its just the housing or cover over the real wire inside it.. which is really thin and can break easily if it is stretched
