I have only been able to find downpipes for the 2.7. Does anyone know of a company that sells or is developing one?

A couple of companies have mentioned development but they have been saying that for a while. Grab a book and put your feet up itās going to be a while.

According to @CVF-Jason , most likely next year
I know of at least one company that has been developing one for over a year and still nothing. Even with one it wonāt do much without a larger turbo and canāt get that since no one has came out with a custom tune for the 2.3l either yet.

Why? I have been giving thought to upgrading to a smaller turbo that kicks in with less lag at the expense of top end speed. I am new to this so please explain.

The 2.3L is running a relatively small Twinscroll turbo already. The system breathes well enough from the get-go, which is why you hear tuners say that there is not much benefit to a custom DP.
If you want to have better turbo response time, you best be running the FP Tune, running 91+ Octane and in Sport Mode to start. The boost and throttle curves are much more refined and brought on earlier in the rev range.
A smaller turbo will technically spool quicker, sure, but at the expense of top end and the overall flow rate. A smaller snail may actually require a custom tune to take hold of any benefit, similar to slapping on larger turbo; the electronics will not be optimized for the new parts put in.
In addition to the FP Tune, 91+ Octane, youād be better off upgrading the charge pipe, FMIC, and going to a step colder plug to allow the timing to advance as much as possible - youāll feel way more gains from these mods than anything else.
If this all sounds like jargon to you, Iād suggest reading up on Single Scroll vs Twin Scroll vs Twin Turbo vs Sequential Twin Turbo systems. There are many ways to skin a cat, each one has its benefits itās drawbacks.

I think a tune would better suit your needs rather than investing in a new turbo, downpipe, and, well, you would need a custom tune anyhow to get it to run correctly. Or just run in Sport mode.
I haven't looked, but yeah, you would think a 2.3 down pipe would already be on the market. You could always source the turbo exhaust flange and have one custom made.

Right now it has a JB4 tuner using map 3, a Ford Performance Tune, a Mishimoto high mount intercooler with pipes, air intake, and exhaust. My winter project is putting a water/methanol injection on it and it already has a performance clutch. I'm not looking to turn it into a race car but my goal is to build it to have the best performance it is capable of before going into things like engine mods. I also only run only 93 octane.
I don't see myself realistically downsizing the turbo but I'm foaming at the mouth for downpipes.

A while back I got in touch with the Canadian tuner and he said there was nothing additional that he could do with a 2.3 but there was a lot of room for custom tuning a 2.7
It shouldn't be that big of a deal to fabricate one.
If this 2.3 uses the same exhaust port design as the 2.3 mustangs i believe the turbo already exist i believe precision/ turbonetics makes it.
Itās the same turbo thatās in the ranger/explorer. I have a spare turbo waiting to be sent off to https://crpengineering.com/product/3-023-321/ for their stage 3 upgrade. Fabricating a downpipe isnāt hard but making one pass emission tests is. I could care less about the emissions, take the cat out completely and give me spots for the sensors.
