WA trouble accelerating

So recetly i have been haveing trouble when i accelerate in gear. i press the throttle and my car bogs down and then clears out and will not go past 7 grand. as soon as i push in the clutch i can rap out the engine all the way through 10 grand. it was doing this before i brought it to the mazda dealership in spokane and they did the engine block recall for me. they came back after doing the recall and they said it was due to a plugged cat causeing back pressure so i went and bought a race pipe that cut out the cat. and it stills bogs out when i accelerate but eveantually does revs till 7 grand and stops climbing. has anyone had this happen and how they fixed it or if you have an idea what it could be

Did you unplug the battery for a while? To reset the ECU.
