Default 409 exhausts, Australia

I wondered if anyone in the Australian group had experience of getting a new exhaust system for a 409 made. Apart from getting the factory items from BCL with the inevitable shipping costs, the currenet solution seems to be to get a "local" firm to make something to fit.
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
