RE: 97 vs 98 GT?
Hmmm, Maybe only some 98's got a bigger exhaust. There is a 100% stock 1998 GT at a dealer in town and the pipes on the cat back are bigger than the one off my 2003 GT.
As for the battery light comming on at high RPM's that usually means the alternator is having votage issues at high RPM's.

RE: 97 vs 98 GT?
Right, '98 GT's had 2.5" pipes. If I had it to do again, I'd just have Magnaflow mufflers cut into my stock exhaust instead of the whole catback. I didn't realize at the time my '98 system was already 2.5" all the way back. Better exhaust and computer tune contributed to the extra 10 HP. The reality may be closer to 15+ HP. Ford lies alot with HP numbers for the insurance game.
