SC PROJECT HALF-SYSTEM 2-1, WITH S1 EXHAUST FOR DUCATI Panigale V2 (2020-2024)
The SC-Project Half-System 2-1 with S1 Titanium Exhaust is a race-inspired sc-project-half-…st-for-ducati-v2/ upgrade that transforms the Ducati Panigale V2 (2020–2024) into a sharper, lighter, and more exhilarating superbike. SC-Project, a leading name in MotoGP and WSBK, channels its racing DNA into this performance-focused exhaust system. By combining aggressive design with advanced materials and performance-enhancing features, the S1 system delivers on all fronts—sound, looks, weight, and power.
Design and Build Quality
SC-Project crafts the S1 muffler using aerospace-grade titanium. This choice reduces overall weight and improves thermal resistance, especially during high-performance riding. The titanium mid-pipe and conical silencer integrate seamlessly into the Panigale V2’s design, while the carbon fiber end cap adds a premium, race-derived finish.
Each component reflects precision engineering. The TIG-welded joints and CNC-machined parts ensure structural strength and a perfect fit. SC-Project designed the system to hug the contours of the bike closely, offering a clean, minimalist appearance while improving ground clearance and airflow under the bike.
The result is a system that not only performs but also elevates the Panigale’s aggressive styling to another level.
Performance Gains
Installing the S1 exhaust system gives the Panigale V2 a noticeable performance edge. Riders report gains of up to 5 horsepower along with improved throttle response and smoother torque delivery, especially in the mid-to-high RPM range. The 2-1 layout reduces exhaust backpressure, allowing the engine to breathe more freely.
But the real transformation comes from the weight savings. The SC-Project half-system is over 5 kilograms (11 pounds) lighter than the stock exhaust. This reduction improves power-to-weight ratio, cornering agility, and high-speed stability—qualities that any sportbike enthusiast will immediately notice on the road or track.
Sound Profile
The SC-Project S1 Titanium Exhaust delivers an unmistakable racing soundtrack. At idle, the bike produces a throaty, aggressive note. Open the throttle, and the sound builds into a ferocious roar that perfectly matches the character of the Panigale’s V-twin engine.
SC-Project tuned the S1 without a dB-killer for maximum acoustic performance. The sound reaches up to 110 dB at mid-RPM, creating an authentic race-bike tone. This setup is perfect for track riders or Ducati owners who crave an unfiltered, high-performance sound experience.
Fitment and Installation
The S1 Half-System is built specifically for the Ducati Panigale V2 (model years 2020 to 2024). It fits without any frame or fairing modifications. SC-Project includes everything needed in the kit—titanium mid-pipe, carbon/titanium S1 muffler, mounting brackets, hardware, and springs.
Most experienced riders or technicians can complete the installation within 2–3 hours. While ECU remapping isn’t required, SC-Project recommends it to optimize performance and ensure the engine adapts to the new exhaust flow.
Legality and Usage
This system is designed for racing use only and is not homologated for street use in most countries. It lacks a catalytic converter and exceeds legal noise limits, making it suitable strictly for closed circuits or private events. Riders should always verify local regulations before installing this system on a road-registered motorcycle.
Price and Availability
The SC-Project Half-System with S1 Exhaust is available through official SC-Project dealers and select online performance retailers. Prices typically range from $2,000 to $2,400 USD, depending on region and tax. Given its premium materials, hand-built construction, and race performance, the system offers excellent value for track-focused riders or serious enthusiasts.
Final Verdict
For Ducati Panigale V2 riders looking to elevate their machine’s sound, performance, and presence, the SC-Project Half-System 2-1 with S1 Titanium Exhaust is a compelling choice. It combines SC-Project’s racing expertise with cutting-edge design to create an exhaust system that’s as beautiful as it is brutal.
This is more than just an upgrade—it’s a declaration of performance intent.
