Default Does lower rad. hose have wire inside?

Does the factory H3 lower radiator hose have wire re-enforcement inside it to prevent the hose from collasping on itself? I know some cars have this wire in the lower rad. hose.

Hasn't anyone here changed their lower radiator hose?
Does this hose have wire supports on the inside?

My H3 is not parked at home right now and I bought a lower radiator hose at Auto Qwest which I only have 30 days to return. I will not have the H3 to check and see if this is the correctly built hose. If I had the car here I could just try to squeeze the hose and if it does not collapse then it is the correct part with the wire re-enforcement or maybe the correct hose does not have the wire?
I know my Corvettes had stainless wire throughout the lower rad. hose to prevent it from collapsing under negative pressure from the water pump.
Anyone know if the H3 needs what type of lower rad. hose?
