Is this for a pre-made single turbo kit or a custom kit you are putting together? If for a pre-made kit, you should be able to get a downpipe from the company that made it. If custom, then the downpipe needs to be custom

There are probably some kits for RHD in the UK, AU or Japan

I think it's a custom kit.

https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-rx-7-1993-2002-parts-99/f-s-garrett-t66-complete-single-turbo-kit-713433/ <--- this is the kit I'm thinking of buying..

Is it possible to make an LHD downpipe fit on a RHD car?

Depends on whether you know someone who can reliably fab a downpipe. Might be easier to just start from scratch. Hopefully the downpipe is the only part that won't fit. Will the manifold fit?

^ ^ from his first post he does have a single turbo, that is part of the problem.

Are the downpipes actually different between RHD & LHD? The exhausts both run down the right hand side and afaik the engine setup is the same?

Just a question
