Stillin intake HP rate difference for coupe/sedan

Simple question, I've searched and found none.

Why is it that the stillen intake is rated different power wise for the two vehicles with the same engine???

http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?id=STIZTBE01

Stillen states that te coupe gains 5 ponies while the sedan gains 11? The last time I checked, these two vehicles had the same engine... Unless they are using a rev up and a non rev up.

I don't think it's worth any real power on any model... From what I have heard it is just for sound mainly. I think sexyrob gained 1whp in his intake dyno thread... Not bad though considering every other intake lost hp over the stock intake box...

the sedans and coupes have different outputs even tho they're the same vq engine
For example, the 2003 sedan has 261 hp while the 2003 coupe has 282

nah, the sedan is lighter because of the longer doors on the coupe, they had to use more material to support the weight.

The sedans also do not have a front subframe cross brace, which weighs ~35 lb.
