HELP! car will not boot

I have a 1990 rx-7 and it wont really boot when i floor the pedal. It begins stuttering when I really try to push it in first and second gear, but it's fine if I slowly push down on the pedal. One of the exhausts have fallen off the car and it needs a new y-pipe. Could this be the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks guys

Clogged Cat would be my first guess.

Well back pressure is a possible source for your problem. I would also look and make sure that your O2 sensor is still their and working.

lmao, you saying your exhaust fell off indicates you have shitt old stock rusted exhaust.... get a new turbo back exhaust or even a cheap muffler off of ebay and have an exhaust shop weld it on for you with custom piping. Single exhaust style.
