trouble


I cant figure out what is wrong with my car i know its missing, a hole in the exhaust, and for some reason it hesitates before acceleration. I wasn't sure if it was the transmission I looked for the dipstick and cant find it I feel like an idiot....It's a 2000 V6 mustang....Can I get some opinions?

you can buy seafoam at walmart or something it basically cleans out your system from all the gunk buildup over the years.
