Look for signs of soot around manifold. If you do have an exhaust leak then its possible the computer isnt getting correct reading and running lean.

Most likely exhaust leak if you're not throwing codes. I ran w/o a mid or rear section before and felt like I was hauling a full trailer. Do you have an aftermarket exhaust or stock? Check the connection points for leaks.

faulty tps possibly? exhaust leak at the manifold will deff cause slow acceleration. If its vacuum related, your car will prob idle poorly too so idk if your problem is vacuum.
