I have heard many ppl pronouncing car performance parts. Some got Abengish slang, some ppl simply say, some ppl say got American slang etc. kereta potong ppl pronounce it differently, Auto dealer/supplier oso call it differently. So which one is the correct pronounciation?

Example: how do you pronouce these parts such as:-

Cusco (as Suusko, or Kusko?)
Exedy (Ee-sedi or Ek-edy?)
Tein (Tii-en or Ten)
Blistein (bliss-tai-en or Blis-ten)
 
Xenon Lights = Jinon Lights ( as pronounced by Johnny of Zheng My Car)
 
Pocketrocket,

Apexi-hopefully no abeng would pronounce it as "a-phek-sai' (a lump of shit) LOL
 
Mugen: Miu-gen or Muu-gen?

Side track abit...
Carburator: kapp-let-tar (coined by under-cherry-tree chinese mechanic)
Ball bearing:Bey-ling (oso coined by under-cherry-tree chinese mechanic)
 
hahaha.... true true....

Go Zigen..... cos 5 pronounced as Go is Jap ma...so it make sense Go Zigen..but i like it better on Five Zigen....

How about Mugen?
Some say Moooo Gen...
Some say Mui Gen....
other Mo gan...
so which is the correct one?
