Vargas Upper Vent Hose - Black - BMW E9X M3

Product Details

Preventative maintenance is the key to longevity for the BMW S65 engine, and the VTT Upper Vent Hose is the ultimate "set it and forget it" solution. The factory upper vent hose is a frequent victim of heat-soak, often snapping or leaking at the plastic junctions during routine service. This VTT kit provides a permanent fix by utilizing heavy-duty silicone and anodized billet aluminum ends. It is the only solution on the market that addresses both the hose material and the connector durability simultaneously. By installing this black silicone variant, you are not only refreshing a critical cooling component but also reinforcing your M3 against the inevitable plastic fatigue that plagues high-performance BMWs.

Key Features
