Default top si radiator hose doesnt fit b16.

Well. I went to autozone and got top and bottom radiator hoses for my b16. I got 99 si hoses. The botom fits pretty well, but the top is too short. What could i do? Could I cut my old 1.5l bottom hose to fit the top?

Companys such as Summit Racing / Jegs / JC Wittney would all probably carry something like this as well as some of your local auto parts stores.

Check out ebay as well:

I kno that the mods don't allow ebay links but this link is not to a specivic item, rather it is a search link that should remain functional after time.

. Cool. I forgot about ebay. I checked out autozone, I usually don't buy stuff from there other than oe type replacements. They had a system like those hoses, but it was 15.99$ I think. I just don't trust it. Thanks a lot for the link.

Blah, okidoke. WCS said I'd need a 99 SI header if I was going to N/A. So I figured I'd need 99 SI hoses. Live and learn.
