===============

Got the Smokestack upgrade for 20th Prime. They're brass plated with nickel.

Comparison shot of inferior length USDM smokestack v.s. JDM spec smokestack.


To access the smokestack, you need to have a set of precision phillips head screw drivers. There are three screws, one smaller than the rest. The entire arm/shoulder assembly is exposed. Make sure not to lose the tiny compression spring. Replace the smoke-stack, and tension with the spring. It's easiest to do this with the arm removed from the shoulder.

These are quality parts. To me, it makes the 20th Anniversary Prime "complete". I now don't feel the need to get a MP Prime.
