Decoding exhaust

So I've had this exhaust on my bike for quite some time. Came across some FBF high mounts and got my old ones off. Well, I'm still not sure what the heck they were. They have a stamp or engraving on them that says, "TA DUC MON 900 SX" on one side and the exact same thing on the other side except it ends in "DX" I'll try and post some pics real quick...

Anybody now what they are or have any ideas?

Here are some pictures. The top exhaust is the one I'm trying to figure out what brand it is.


What about the TA?

it's gia.co.moto, the forerunner to dp, and also sold by dp for the bikes they didn't sell termis for.  although, you could get a full system for a 996, etc, made in this style too.  they all have the same look, springs holding mufflers to inlet tubes, same end caps, etc.  i had a full st4 system on my 888.

made by whoever made their systems, no idea who it was.  i have been told it varied, and certainly we would order a single muffler for a crash job then have to order a pair to get two with matching end caps, etc.  just slight enough variations to make an owner point it out with a wtf look on their face.

Did a search on Gia.co.moto

There's an old thread on ducati.ms about them. From the pictures that were posted, they didn't look the same. As far as the canister and end caps go that is. Will have to look into it further. By if they are those, would I call them ducati performance pipes or Gia.co.moto pipes?

Found out some more. Looks like that's what they are. Ducati performance pipes, that were made by Gia.co.moto in the early nineties. Debating on selling them or not

The exhaust was made by a company called, as the decal says, Forza.  Or, at least the can.  S pipes might be Giacamoto since mine have the same left and right markings.

This is Giacomoto.  Same can was used for high and low mount.  As stated, they were the early DP exhaust.  Forza was supplier to Fast by Ferracci before Sil.
