409 exhausts, Australia

That is what appears to be fitted at present, resulting in smaller silencers being fitted, plus " burble' boxes in the front pipe section.
Am I correct in thinking that the original boxes were probably made by Burgess or Servais? "Straight through" construction with concentric inlet and outlet? Box length about 24'' each?
Thanks for any help

My 411 has original exhaust (stainless) purchased from BCL. Not sure if I can get under it, but if necessary I could try to take some digital pics. Alternatively remember this is a standard Chrysler V8, and any decent muffler shop should be able to fabricate a setup that will work.

Hi Mike,
My 407 has a stailess steel system made locally in England at reasonable
cost
and this seems to be the way many owners have gone.
The actual manifolds are still original. ( they are difficult to come by)
