no its not....the coupe is 280/280...same as '04 then '05 is 290/260

the '03 sedan is RATED at 260 but put it on the dyno and u will see its also 280.

yeah i editted....but the 260 rating on sedans was just marketing for the coupes....the only difference is the midpipe but thats not a 20hp difference....plus the sedans are lighter (which only matters for wheel HP)

I dont remember what the difference is...the sedan's might have an added resonater or it may just be smaller in diameter....

there are a few good pictures of the pipe with a huge resonator, it scares me just looking at that.

You'll save about 25 pounds by replacing the sedan midpipe with the coupe midpipe. It's a direct swap.

How about just removing the resonator?
I already replaced stock muffler with some stainless steel no name brand, i know it weights at least 15-20lb less than stock.

i dont think u can just remove it....i think it the center and pipes are welded to both ends of it....removing it would leave about 2feet of "nothingness"

the coupe one also has a resonater but much smaller.....u could get testpipes if u dont want a resonater at all

I meant replacing it with a smaller one, like a straight truegh glass pack or something..
