!997 accord 2.2-L L-4 SOHC 16V
Hey
I have a 1997 Honda accord with a 2.2-L L-4 SOHC 16V engine in it. As you can tell it is a non-Vtec car. This is also a 5 speed.
I have always wondered why my car does this and wanted to know if anybody else would know.
Just a back story I only have half an exhaust pipe due to the fact of the old being torn off. Because of this, I have noticed a drop in the acceleration by almost half.
Still, tho when I am going faster and I hit about 3000 RPM to 4000 RPM my car will increase its speed by triple. An example is if I'm going 50 in 4th gear at 3.5 RPM and i floor it i will hit 90 before i hit 5000 RPM I never understood this since it is only a four banger.
There are custom header pipes on it and a cold air intake but the intake is old.
Does anybody know why hondas do this even if it's not a Vtec?

When you say the exhaust was ripped off. How far does it still extend after the headers? To the muffler? To the cat? Etc
You could try comparing the under hood tech signal to you dash to verify that its not just your gauge. An inductive pickup for a multimeter may even be good enough.
If probably also check out the distributor pull of the cap and at a minimum visually inspect for any carbon tracking or oil leak, I say that because I'm fairly certain the tech on your car uses the cam sensor for rpm signal.
This next idea is kind of a shot in the dark but How old is the gas?
