5-Piece Silicone Oil Breather Hose Kit Maserati 3200 GT V8 Biturbo 1998-2002

Product definition and technical specifications

The REDOX kit includes 5 high-performance silicone hoses designed for the crankcase ventilation and oil vapour recovery system of the Maserati 3200 GT. These hoses evacuate blow-by gases from the V8 3.2L twin-turbo engine to the intake system, an essential function for maintaining optimal crankcase pressure and preventing oil leaks. Made from VMQ silicone with 4-ply reinforcement and 5mm wall thickness, these hoses offer exceptional thermal resistance from -58F to +356F (-50C to +180C), far superior to the original rubber hoses that degrade under heat and oil vapour exposure.

Applications and compatible models

This kit is specifically designed for the Maserati 3200 GT (Tipo 338), produced from 1998 to 2002. Compatible with all model versions: 3200 GT with Getrag 6-speed manual transmission, 3200 GTA with BTR 4-speed automatic, and the limited Assetto Corsa edition (259 units produced in 2001). The engine is the V8 3217cc twin-turbo producing 370hp, equipped with two IHI turbochargers. Direct bolt-on installation without modifications. A total of 4,795 Maserati 3200 GTs were produced.

OEM reference numbers for original hoses

Identified Maserati manufacturer reference for oil vapour circuit: 585003400 (oil vapours breather pipe right-hand side). The REDOX kit replaces all hoses in the Oil Vapour Recovery system of the Maserati 3200 GT. These parts are listed in the Maserati parts diagram section 021 - Oil Vapour Recovery.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is this kit compatible with both Phase 1 and Phase 2 Maserati 3200 GT?

Yes, the kit is compatible with all Maserati 3200 GTs produced between 1998 and 2002, including Phase 1 (1998-2000) and Phase 2 (2001-2002) versions, as well as GT, GTA and Assetto Corsa variants.

Q2: Why should I replace my original oil breather hoses?

The original rubber hoses deteriorate due to heat from the twin-turbo engine and oil vapour exposure. They become porous, crack and can cause oil leaks or poor crankcase ventilation, leading to overpressure and failing seals.

Q3: What is the difference between VMQ silicone and original rubber?

VMQ silicone withstands temperatures from -58F to +356F versus -22F to +212F for rubber. It retains flexibility over time, resists UV, ozone and hydrocarbons. Its lifespan is significantly longer.

Q4: Are hose clamps included?

No, clamps are not included. We recommend reusing your original clamps if in good condition, or opting for quality stainless steel clamps. Diameters match original specifications.

Q5: Can I install this kit myself?

Yes, installation is within reach of experienced DIYers. The hoses fit as direct replacements without modification. Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours of work. Access from above the engine is required.

Q6: What does the lifetime warranty cover?

The REDOX lifetime warranty covers all manufacturing defects: cracks, ply delamination, abnormal elasticity loss. It does not cover damage from improper installation or non-conforming use.

Q7: What colour should I choose for my Maserati?

The choice is aesthetic. Black offers a discreet, OEM appearance. Blue and red add a sporty touch visible in the engine bay. All colours have identical technical properties.

Q8: How long to receive my order?

Permanent stock in France. Same-day shipping for orders placed before 5pm CET. Delivery via GLS in 24-72h across Europe depending on destination.
