:wtf: I've even heard it pronounced Mewgen. Have you ever heard a Japanese person pronounce shit like that? It's Mugen....short. Japanese pronounce vowels short.

You gotta be kidding me, I just jumped in here to ask this same question and here it was at the top... weird man.
The guy who helped install my engine pronounces it moogen and to me that sounds canadian or something. I say it as mew-jen and maybe it's wrong, but who really cares, it's all the same company.

some of you guys are prononcing the first syllable correct, but not the second....the whole name should be sound as this: Moo-gan(higher tone) as Mugen....Japanese ppl prononce this way for sure!!

Pronounce the 'g' hard, not like a 'j.' Say 'gen' like you would 'ken.' It should be close to an 'a' sound, but not exactly... Hard to explain

HTH!
