Direct Connection SEMA 2026: Whipple, MagnaFlow & More
Direct Connection, the performance parts arm of Mopar and Stellantis, used the 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas (Nov. 3–6) to launch a stack of new parts for the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee, Dodge Charger, Durango SRT Hellcat and Ram 1500 TRX. The headline is a Whipple supercharger kit for the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee, backed by MagnaFlow exhausts, a Ridetech suspension kit, Custom Wheel House wheels and new intakes. Direct Connection sells these through its own channel and CDJR dealers, and we do not stock them. But if you own a Charger, Durango, Ram or TRX, we carry plenty of aftermarket parts that go after the same results. Here is what was announced, and what you can buy from us today.
Whipple supercharger kit for the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee
The big launch is a Whipple supercharger kit (P/N 68815144AA) for the Rumble Bee. Direct Connection lists output targets of up to 600 hp on the 5.7L, up to 700 hp on the 392 and 392 Track Pack, and up to 900 hp on the 6.2L SRT. MSRP is $10,995 before installation, and it is available starting in the first quarter of 2027. Direct Connection says the 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty is honored when the kit is installed by a Mopar Level 3 technician.
