Just picked up my new bike last Friday. I am trying to find a Termignoni exhaust for my bike. Even though it’s a 2023 I believe it’s still considered a Gen1. Having trouble finding an exhaust. If I search for 2023, they all seem like they would be for the gen2 bike. So, Should I buy one that is for a 2022 bike instead? Please help I have the same question for the seat, because holy smokes, that sucker is hard! What did you guys go with that has more cushion than the stock seat?

Your bike is still a gen 1 (no iterchangeable tank covers, rear shock side mounted), so exhaust and seat is the same.
I went from the stock seat, to a custom DS seat, now I finally have a Mustang seat, and it's 1000% more comfortable.

I am running a Mustang as well (Revere Journey) and it's super comfortable. Depending on where you are and what you're looking for I would consider checking on Craigslist for Facebook Marketplace. I've seen some new Termi takeoffs selling for 50% to 70% less than list.
Enjoy the ride! That's a sweet looking bike.

Regarding the exhaust, I am considering a GPR which they say is compatible with Ducati Scrambler 800 Icon - Icon Dark 2021-2023, Euro 5 and has a cat. A much cheaper option than a Termi and apparently road legal. GPR Motorcycle Exhausts | G.P.R. Exhaust Systems.
The only other Euro5 option I can find is a Zard, more expensive and not sure it looks that great. Guessing this emissions stuff is not as much of an issue in the US ?

Lucky for you. Its odd that more exhaust manufacturers have not manufactured Euro 5 versions but I guess it has a lot to do with the cat. The GPR M3 seems to have the deepest sound but its not a look I like. Does the GPR powercone sound like a stock exhaust with cat & db killer in ? Have you had it mapped or is there no noticeable difference ?
Yeah I’m assuming that with the new model scramblers there isn’t much incentive for the manufacturers to develop E5 exhausts for < 2023 models.
GPR is the only affordable, decent looking brand that I could find. I do think E4 exhaust can be made to fit pretty easily as only the link pipe seems a bit different on the E5.
The powercone does sound much better than stock with cat and db killer installed. But still it’s not great either. Bit racy sounding and not deep enough. I think there are very few options that rival the high mounted termi racing exhaust in terms of sound.
I did not do a re-map. Planning to do so next spring/summer. The bike does feel more responsive, but that could be placebo and the effect of more noise.

This is how the cat looks like. Pretty small so you’ll save quite a bit of weight. If you decide to go with GPR, thorough research is advised. They have multiple options of the same models. With and without cat, icon, nightshift, desert sled, etc. This is the part number for the DS E5 version. E5.D.137.CAT.PCEV
