1985 Mazda RX7 Manual 180000 miles

Hi there!

My name is Jesse and my 1985 Mazda Rx-7(rotary engine) is starting to bog out going up hills. Two weeks prior to this happening the piping to the exhaust broke and i was driving the car with no exhaust for two or three week, i know got the exhaust welded but there still is a leak. I dont no why my car is bogging out, is it because that there still is a leak in my exhaust? or is there something else wrong in the engine?

An exhaust leak that close to valve most likely warped valve. By allowing cold air at the valve. Check compression
