Direct Connection Adds Supercharger, Exhaust & Suspension Kits for Rumble Bee

Ram and Direct Connection have announced new performance parts formulas for the all-new 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee lineup. Intended for the Rumble Bee, Rumble Bee 392/392 Track Pack and Rumble Bee SRT, Direct Connection performance parts include supercharger kits, performance exhaust systems, a coil-over suspension lowering kit and Direct Connection-branded graphics packages.

These factory-backed upgrades will give Rumble Bee owners the freedom to build muscle trucks their way, backed by parts-counter availability and the confidence of a matching five-year/60,000-mile limited powertrain warranty on supercharger kits when installed by an ASE-certified Mopar technician, company officials stated in a press release.

“Mopar enthusiasts have never been shy about asking for more horsepower, and we’re right there with them,” said Tim Kuniskis, head of American Brands, SRT Performance, North America marketing and retail strategy. “That’s exactly why Direct Connection exists. We give enthusiasts the ability to push their vehicles beyond stock with the parts, engineering and factory-backed support most OEMs won’t touch. The Direct Connection team was involved with Rumble Bee from day one, working alongside some of the best names in the aftermarket to develop upgrades that deliver real performance gains.”

Direct Connection Supercharger Kits

At the heart of the new Direct Connection performance parts formulas for the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee family are supercharger kits that deliver gains in horsepower and torque across the all-HEMI V-8 lineup.

Direct Connection upgrades each Rumble Bee with a high-efficiency 3.0-liter, twin-screw supercharger featuring an oversized air-to-water intercooler and high-capacity coolant pump to support reliable, repeatable performance. Each supercharger kit has an MSRP of $10,995 (plus installation) and comes with a five-year/60,000-mile limited powertrain warranty when installed by an ASE-certified Mopar technician.

On Rumble Bee, Direct Connection’s 3.0-liter twin-screw supercharger kit boosts the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8’s output to over 600 horsepower. “5.7L Supercharged” hood badges replace the standard units, while a supercharger cover finished in gray complements the Ceramic Gray Rumble Bee tailgate badge.

When stepping up to the Rumble Bee 392 and 392 Track Pack, Direct Connection’s 3.0-liter twin-screw supercharger kit takes advantage of the larger-displacement 392 HEMI V-8, increasing power output to over 700 horsepower. All production Rumble Bee 392 and 392 Track Pack muscle trucks will now feature Flame Red “392 HEMI Powered” hood badges. When equipped with the Direct Connection supercharger kit, the badge is updated to “392 Supercharged” and complemented by a color-matched red supercharger cover.

The Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT delivers a record-setting 777 horsepower and 680 pound-feet of torque as standard, reaching 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds and completing the quarter mile in 11.6 seconds. Direct Connection’s 3.0-liter twin-screw supercharger kit replaces the standard 2.4-liter supercharger and targets over 900 horsepower. Under the hood, a Rumble Bee Yellow supercharger cover highlights the striking performance centerpiece, noted the release.

Direct Connection Performance Exhaust by Magnaflow

Direct Connection will also offer a stainless-steel cat-back exhaust by Magnaflow for each HEMI V-8 powertrain.

Set to be available as a standalone upgrade or in addition to the supercharger systems, the Direct Connection exhaust systems by Magnaflow feature full stainless-steel construction with 3-inch mandrel-bent tubing. Exhaust gases from each cylinder bank merge at an X-pipe, which balances the exhaust pulses for a smooth, deep and aggressive tone before exiting through large, 5-inch black exhaust tips with the Direct Connection logo, the company said.

MSRP, before installation:

• $1,599 – Rumble Bee
• $2,299 – Rumble Bee 392/392 Track Pack
• $2,399 – Rumble Bee SRT

Each Direct Connection performance exhaust system is covered by a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects and a limited one-year warranty on black finish exhaust tips, both provided by Magnaflow.

Direct Connection Suspension Kit by Ridetech

Compatible with the coil-sprung Rumble Bee and Rumble Bee 392, the Direct Connection suspension kit by Ridetech replaces the standard four-corner coil-spring suspension with a comprehensive lowering package. The Direct Connection suspension kit adds a customized look by lowering the truck with a 1-inch drop in the front and a 3-inch drop in the rear.

The kit includes HQ-series coil-overs with impact-forged aluminum-bodied monotube shocks, 24-way adjustable damping and CNC cold-wound high-tensile steel springs for exceptional strength and durability.

As a fully integrated performance upgrade, the suspension kit maintains precise geometry through the use of tubular front control arms. The result is everyday ride compliance with improved handling and enhanced stability, according to the release.

The Direct Connection suspension kit by Ridetech has an anticipated MSRP of $4,590 before installation and a three-year/36,000-mile limited warranty.

Direct Connection Graphics Packages

Direct Connection exterior graphics packages are available in colors to match each Direct Connection supercharger kit. The shared design features a pronounced Direct Connection logo on the Sport Performance hood and bodyside. The bodyside graphic extends from the front fender to the rear bedside, where it terminates with an aggressive up-kick and Direct Connection logo on each side.

Each graphics package is finished in low-gloss black with unique color-keyed accents on the hood and rear bedside, which match their corresponding Direct Connection supercharger kit and signal its level of performance: Ceramic Gray on the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8-powered truck, Flame Red on the 392 HEMI V-8-powered trucks, and Rumble Bee Yellow on the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8-powered SRT truck.

Each truck has additional color-keyed details, including the “RAM” flow-through grille badges and Brembo brake calipers. The Rumble Bee and Rumble Bee 392 builds feature concept Direct Connection grille badges, with the latter also adding a one-off Rumble Bee tailgate badge with Flame Red detailing to match its red-and-black theme.

Availability

Available through the Ram dealer network, Direct Connection performance parts for the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 Rumble Bee are planned to launch alongside the muscle truck in the fourth quarter of 2026. Direct Connection performance parts for the Rumble Bee 392/392 Track Pack and Rumble Bee SRT are set to arrive in the first half of 2027 alongside each variant.
