Since it falls flat at higher RPMs, I would suspect a clogged catalytic converter. You cant test this by disconnecting & removing the upstream O2 sensor (located between the 'y' in the y-pipe & the catalytic converter). Take it for a spin. It will be loud, but if the cat is clogged, it should run better.
