engine differences between 95-99 3.0L & 00-01 3.0L

i was just wondering what is the difference between the 95-99 3.0L 190 HP and 00-01 3.0L 222 engines. both 3.0L but one makes more HP then the other, the only thing i have seen from just glancing under the hood of both is that the 95-99 has an aluminum intake manifold, while the 00-01 has a plastic(i think)black intake. everything from the top looks almost identically other than that. i kno they used the same engine but since one has an extra 32 HP, the only thing i can think of that adds extra HP that nissan engineered would be a change in the exhaust?

any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated THANKS!

exhust chagnes were made but i do not know what exactly was done. they have a variable intake whihc creates a high torque curver, and they do not suffer the loss we up there.
