Hi
I got my car remapped ( from 90 to 125 bhp) and it was advised to remove atleast the catalytic converter. The straight through exhaust is tempting but is it too loud ? Also where can I buy a suitable downpipe for a straight through exhaust that fits to berlingo?

Depends entirely on what you consider to be too loud. I think a full system with a single straight-through design silencer box is the perfect balance, but it's all down to personal taste.
You can't get off-the-shelf exhausts for the berlingo as far as I am aware, it would have to be a custom job.

Thanks. I found the quides about decatting and endbox changing for middlebox. I hope the original exhaust has enough bore for optimal results.

Standard exhaust has a good bore size for stage 1 power.

Country:
I've got a dummy decat and straight through pipe just through to a middle box in place of a back box and am surprised at how quiet it still is. Infact I can hardly tell the difference to be honest. When accelerating it is only slightly louder than standard and when cruising at a constant speed you can't hear it. Actually a bit disappointed at how quiet it is lol.
