Well I got the muffler delete in the mail today from 7th_sign, and couldn't wait to install it. Had it on within an hour :)
Here are some pics and a before/after Vid of the muffler delete. Car is crazy loud, but I'm sure I'll get used to it over the next few weeks :)

Super easy, just did this on Sunday for the first time to remove my cats:
All screws require 8mm socket.
1. Open Doors and hood.
2. Use 2 credit cards to pinch the 4 black caps together on the sides, so that they pop out.
3. Remove 4 screws under those black caps.
4. Remove 2 more screws that...
My 97 GTS was probably the easiest brake job I've ever done. Do it yourself and save some $$. Took me about 1 hour for all 4 pads, and that was only because it was my first time doing it. When the pads come out, the rotors can just slide out as well :)
What pads did you go with?
I'm pretty decided on doing just a cat and muffler delete, with leaving the stock resonator. I want it loud, but I don't want it straight pipe with no resonator loud.
I'm in AZ, and my A/C in my 97 GTS was just recharged before I bought the car. Car gets so cold that my wife wants to keep a blanket in the car haha. I still have full stock exhaust btw.
Sounds like yours needs a recharge.
You'll get more money putting it back to stock, and selling off the parts.
I just bought a bone stock b/w 97 with 20k miles for mid 40's. The car is in showroom condition, hence why I paid a little more for it, versus going low 40's for another one I found with 10k miles, that was in worse...
I'm picking up a showroom B/W 97 this weekend, and my first mod will be cat/resonator delete, and replaced with a straight pipe. Will keep the stock mufflers :)
Are you in AZ by chance? There's a nice sapphire blue / silver with 19k for sale down here :)
I'm from Gilbert, and picking up my B/W GTS this Saturday from Cali. PM me so we can meet up!
Gen 2 is refined in pretty much every way. It is faster, handles better, rides smoother, comfier, etc. I mean who wants to clip in windows every time they park the car? I also personally hate Gen 1 interiors with a passion.
How long do you think the whole project took you? What brand high temp sealant did you use? I will be tackling this within the first month of owning the GTS for sure :)
Also, how hard is it to remove the factory side sills?
