Direct Connection Kits For Charger SRT HELLCAT Redeye Are Ready

In November of 2021, Dodge and Mopar made an exciting announcement: the revival of the Direct Connection performance parts brand. This brand would serve as the exclusive source for Dodge’s factory-backed performance components, focusing on enhancing the performance of their vehicles. One particularly anticipated release was the Direct Connection stage kits designed for HELLCAT and HELLCAT Redeye models.

While performance parts for the Dodge Challenger have been available for some time, the spotlight now shifts to the Dodge Charger. Although some of these kits have already been dispatched to dealers, those who placed advance orders might experience a slight delay due to the ongoing United Auto Workers (UAW) strike. The strike has affected Stellantis (Mopar) Parts Distribution facilities nationwide. Nonetheless, these kits are primed and ready.

These Direct Connection “Stage” kits empower Dodge owners to effortlessly incorporate factory-tuned, 50-state-legal stage kit calibrations. Notably, the Direct Connection Stage II kit has the potential to unleash an impressive boost of nearly 100 additional horsepower.

Following the successful footsteps of the Challenger, Direct Connection now offers three distinct kits tailored for the Dodge Charger SRT HELLCAT Redeye. Importantly, the installation of these kits by a Dodge Power Brokers dealer will not void the factory warranty, ensuring peace of mind for enthusiasts.
