The size and location of the word "Mugen" on the top. Search, there are several threads about this in the appearance forum.

i don't think fakes have the right oil passages like the Mugen does.

They are probably almost identical...your just paying for the name with the real mugen one, there is no way it can make a difference if you get the fake one compared to the real one..

a valve cover is pretty much just for looks right? no performance gain

No dood The m00gen valve covers add like 25 horse per head. Thats why I installed them on my chevy, ya them, thats two, one for each head.

There is no gain besides some looks. If your valve cover is chipped and crappy get one, if you wanna drop some cash on some bling valve cover get one. We are all guilty of dropping some pointless $$ into out cars that provide no performance gain.

Mugen valve covers have special oil passages to help keep key areas of the head oiled (differently than a stock cover I might add).

I second that!

The font and font size on top of the valve cover is also a tad different when compared side by side.

They're all over ebay.

Other differences I've heard of:

-humps over the cam gears
-location and size of the word "Mugen" on the vc
