Are there any downpipes for RHD on the market yet?

I've searched around but it looks like everything is LHD only ATM.

One thing to also consider is what style of connection your car has between the downpipe and the rest of the exhaust. For some reason some cars have just a regular bit of pipe with a ribbon clamp, and some have another V band at that end.

I think all EU cars that have the V band style (I'm in the UK and mine does) and all US cars have the ribbon clamp style, but I've no idea about other regions.

Ribbon clamp style:

The AU version has the ribbon clamp.
I envy you haha the V band on our EU ones isn't even just your average V band... its just some weird kind of bevel on the end of the pipe. Spoke to a shop here that has made a downpipe for this car and they said it was a pain to make. Not only could they not find an off the shelf part for the V band at the turbo end (had to get one custom made), they said the V band at the other end of the downpipe was also a pain and ended up doing it with a bead roller, until it broke the bead roller lol
