If I recall correctly, the methods that Honda used for measuring horsepower changed in 2005, so the '05 Pilots do not actually make any more power than Pilots from other years. I don't remember the exact situation, so I might be wrong. You can read more about it here:

I think you're referring to the new SAE procedure for measuring HP (J1349), which didn't go into affect until the 2006 models.
The 2005 Pilot had an increase of 15 HP (to 255). In 2006, even though the engine was unchanged, the HP rating went down to 244 due to the new procedure.
BTW, I found this site listing some new features for the 2005 Pilot...
