Direct Connection Expands Performance Parts Portfolio at SEMA 2026
Stellantis-owned Direct Connection has launched a new range of aftermarket performance components for Ram and Dodge, inspired by prototype development vehicles.
Direct Connection, the performance parts arm of Stellantis’ SRT division, unveiled a series of upgrades at the 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The new catalog items, including Whipple superchargers, MagnaFlow exhaust systems, and Ridetech suspension kits, are derived from technical specifications developed for prototype vehicles such as the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee and Dodge Charger.
Tom Sacoman, senior vice president of the SRT Performance division, stated that the brand aims to bridge the gap between concept vehicles and customer-owned cars by providing factory-backed hardware. These components are designed to allow owners to replicate the sound and handling characteristics of engineering demonstrators while maintaining reliability.
The lineup includes supercharger systems for various Ram 1500 models, with potential outputs reaching 900 horsepower. Direct Connection stated that powertrain warranties remain intact if components are installed by ASE-certified Mopar Level 3 technicians. The company is also expanding performance calibrations for the Durango SRT Hellcat and Ram TRX SRT vehicles.
Most exhaust components are scheduled for release by the end of 2026, while the supercharger kits are slated for availability in the first quarter of 2027.
