Can't identify the manufacturer, but it sounds a lot like a header version
of the stock TR4 manifold- it has a single downpipe connected with a clamp
+ flange.
You might want to try a TR2/3/4 exhaust pipe system - at least the
intermediate pipe- IIRC the solid axle TR4A needs twin mufflers that split
at the frame crossmember.
Hmm, but if I understand "in line with where the engine & gearbox join"
correctly, it's not much like the stock cast iron pipe. Hmm..
(My TR4 uses a Toyota muffler that I bought for $10, so I can't help you
much WRT what happens after the mid pipe)
