Pronunciation Thread
Sorry if this has been brought up before, but I couldn't find anything about it in the search function.
My friend Riley and I always argue about the "correct" pronunciation of certain companies in the aftermarket part industry. Below is a list of companies with the way I thought they were pronounced:
Eibach = eye-bok
Tein = Tain (rhymes with pain)
5Zigen = Go-gee-gen
GReddy = gready........(I've heard some people say it G-Ready)
Tanabe = Tah-na-bay
Correct me if I'm wrong, and feel free to add to the list.

I've heard Tein said soooo many different ways. My friend Riley insists that it is pronounced as Tee-in, but the Japanese guy that installed my exhaust said it's pronounced Tain.
What about Seibon? Does it sound like See-bon or Sigh-bon???
