Lots of things it could be. Coils may not be all good or bad connections on some. You say, no cats, what about the front two O2 sensors ?
The back firing could be bad coils, fuel trim way off from no 02 sensors, or bad exhaust valves.
Need to have the codes read. Probably a few will show up by now.
