My 2000 EJ9 civic has a whining noise and sometimes hesitates to accelerate

So I bought this EJ9 civic about 4 months ago. Since I bought it I've replaced the battery, radiator and the cat. I've been told the exhaust leaks and looks to be in pretty bad shape.

A couple of months in I start to hear this whining sound when accelerating and it's quite noticeable when rev matching. I Can't really hear anything when standing still and revving though.

Then recently after engine braking most of the time in 3rd gear I started to get this hesitation. It felt like you're falling forward when pressing down the gas pedal instead of accelerating but went away after releasing the pedal and trying again. Then one time I tried to continue to press the pedal further when it happened and the car really struggled to accelerate.

I don't know much about cars so would really appreciate some help =).
