My car makes me sin
So i was cruising back from the DFW meet today, and thought it would be fun to downshift and rev match with the turbo fully spooled into 2nd at 40mph and see what happens, aside from me going completely sidways and reaching like 70mph and almost losing control (ridiculously stupid on my part i know) I blew a coolant hose somehow. luckily it was close to home and i immediately pulled her into the garage and started diagnosing the issue, i found it was what looks like a heater hose on the drivers side right under the spark plugs that curves up and goes into the firewall... it was a pain but i drained the coolant and removed the blown hose
my question is, is this a hose typically stocked at autozone or oreilly and what should i ask for when im looking to replace the hose?
thanks guys!

temporarily you could do what i am and get the same size hose at the local auto parts place and forget about the twists and turn for now and just keep checking on the hose until you get a new one.
Plus mazdatrix has the exact molded hose for $30ish
