Unhappy i need help my 240sx isnt pulling like it should!!!

Well i just bought a 91 240sx it has really low miles on the motor, but for some reason its not pulling like it should. ill give it full gas and it barely moves its stock just has intake with straight pipe with a werid muffler. i was told it may not be getting enough back pressure with the 2.5 straight pipe, but could that make that much of a difference. i love 240s and they normally are really fast i've driven other ones. does anyone know what the problem might be or be willing to look at it for me. i want it to run right someone please help me!!

change the cap, rotor, and wires also.
and make sure the distributor isnt cracked and retarding timing.
