Cooling and radiator hoses

[99mx5]

I recently installed a PWR radiator with 16# cap in my car. After a drive I noticed that my top radiator hose was bloated. Is the radiator and cap too much for stock hoses? If so, which hoses do you recommend? My hoses are the OEM ones and I still have the OEM clamps. Id like to replace the hoses and clamps.

Chuck, I noticed you had some nice silicone hoses, where did you get them and would you recommend them?

Thanks!

Sorry I didn't see this post sooner.

I bought the upper radiator hose from Gary @ TDR - the silicone upper radiator hose was $35.

I replaced my lower rad hose when I installed the hotside MP62 in 12/05. I realized that it would be a bitch to get to after the supercharger was installed.

Also, because I waited til the last minute to get the lower rad hose, I think I paid around $35 for a parts store that was open that Saturday for a rubber hose.
