232 HP vs. 238 HP???

I don't know if this is a repost--and I tried searching. So, if it is then I'm sorry I couldn't find the answer. I know most of the people here who could answer this question don't appreciate reposts.

That said, I noticed that some years or 8's claim a BHP of 238 and more recent models claim a BHP of 232 (I'm comparing MTs only). I know its only 6 CBHP, I'm just curious about the change.

Is this the difference between California models and 49 State models? I know on motorcycles, the emissions equipment required for California drain HP, is this the case or was there a slight reduction in claimed BHP for latter models?

Thanks.
