What you are calling the front "silencer" I think is referred to as a resonator.
Mine also needs renewing. I did pull one from a gasser at the JY as it looked similar. Probably will mount right up using the same hangers etc. Some differences:
1) Inlet flange is not the same orientation/location to mate up to the D24T DP so will need to be cut somewhere along the straight run and welded to a good piece from D24T section. Might be tricky to maintain the correct angle and geometry.
2) Diameter at the resonator can inlet and outlet appeared to be slightly smaller than the existing one on my car, but the pipe further out appeared to measure out the same. Hard to accurately measure because it is ovalized. Not sure it matters much overall?
Rear muffler and associated over-axle and tailpipe sections appear to be same as gasser.
OTOH a capable muffler shop should be able to fit in a generic resonator and fab up the two ends to mate up with what you have.
For sure use hi-temp anti-seize on the nuts/bolts/studs.
