Default ABS removal good or bad?

This is a pretty noob question but I'm wondering if it's better to remove the ABS or leave it?
Why do people remove it, why do they leave it on? What's a better choice?

Thanks.

i have driven my integra for 3 months with the ABS light on (which i am asuming means its not working).....its alittle shakey driving in the rain if you need to brake hard...personally i would leave it on...just to prevent an accident...yet i does become a pain in the *** when all the sensors go bad and it starts throwing codes...

They ABS system on the Integra is actually quite good. I would suggest you leave it alone.

"Tucking" in that context normally refers to removing or hiding wiring, tubing, etc., inside the engine bay. The idea is to achieve a "clean" minimalistic look.

Definitely leave it in. Saved my *** more than once.

Ppl that drag race will remove the ABS system as well as any other component that is not necessary to save weight, but if you plan on just driving on the street - def leave it in.

I'm considering removing mine, but only because it doesn't work. If it did, I wouldn't think about it.
