Compatible Dodge Challenger Models

The Mishimoto Performance Aluminum Radiator is compatible with:

• 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 6.1L
• 2011-2016 Dodge Challenger 6.4L V8
• 2015-2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat 6.2L Supercharged

Perfect for:

• Street builds
• Hellcat upgrades
• Drag racing setups
• Track-day muscle cars
• High-horsepower Mopars
• Daily-driven V8 Challengers

Because no Challenger owner buys one planning to preserve rear tire life responsibly.

The Mishimoto Aluminum Radiator for the Dodge/Chrysler LX Chassis is designed to outperform and out survive the factory radiator for an entire life of full-throttle pulls and day by day driving.

Thick Two-Row Performance Core

One of the biggest upgrades is the:

• Two-row, 1.96-inch thick brazed aluminum core

This dramatically improves:

• Heat dissipation
• Thermal stability
• Coolant efficiency
• Sustained cooling performance

Especially beneficial during:

• Drag racing
• Roll racing
• Summer driving
• Stop-and-go traffic
• Repeated high-speed pulls

Where factory cooling systems occasionally begin emotionally overheating.

Rid your Charger, Challenger, Magnum or 300C of its fragile, plastic radiator end tanks and upgrade to a rugged, fully welded, aluminum design.

Full Aluminum Construction

Unlike factory radiators that commonly use:

• Plastic end tanks
• Composite materials
• Crimped seams

The Mishimoto radiator features:

• Full aluminum construction
• TIG-welded end tanks
• Reinforced cooling structure

Helping improve:

• Durability
• Pressure resistance
• Long-term reliability
• High-performance survivability

Because supercharged V8s create enough heat to concern nearby infrastructure.

Never again worry about cracked plastic or leaking hoses leaving you stranded on the side of the road or ending your track day early.

Built for Street & Strip Performance

The brazed aluminum core is engineered to maintain:

• Stable fluid temperatures
• Better thermal recovery
• Consistent cooling under load
• Improved airflow efficiency

Especially important during:

• Quarter-mile passes
• Repeated launches
• High-speed pulls
• Aggressive street driving

Where 700+ horsepower creates thermal load normally associated with industrial furnaces.

With a fully aluminum design that boasts a 48% thicker core and 222% increase in fluid capacity, the Mishimoto LX Chassis Radiator is engineered to resist the most brutal remedy.

Perfect for Hellcat & High-Horsepower Builds

• Pulley-upgraded Hellcats
• Tuned 392 setups
• Supercharged drag builds
• E85-powered street cars
• Nitrous applications

Improved cooling helps reduce:

• Heat soak
• Coolant spikes
• Thermal fatigue
• Power loss under repeated abuse

Especially because boosted Mopars generate heat with the subtlety of volcanic activity.

CNC machined inlets and outlets ensure hoses fit securely and without leaks. As with all Mishimoto radiator, this radiator is direct fit, making installation so simple as removing the factory radiator and installing your new Mishimoto aluminum radiator.

Better Reliability for Daily Drivers

Even naturally aspirated Challengers benefit from:

• Improved cooling consistency
• Better heat management
• Reduced overheating risk
• Long-term reliability

Especially important because:

• Modern muscle cars are heavy
• Large-displacement V8s generate major thermal load
• Summer traffic becomes surprisingly brutal

And idling a cammed HEMI in traffic already feels dramatic enough.

Combine that quality and ease of installation with Mishimoto’s Lifetime Warranty and you’ll be able to have the confidence to push your vehicle to its limits at the track and anywhere else you wish to have to take it.

OEM-Style Direct Fit Installation

The radiator is engineered for:

• Direct-fit installation
• Factory hose compatibility
• OEM mounting integration

Typical installation requires:

• Coolant drain
• Socket set
• Hose clamp tools
• Approximately 3-5 hours

No major:

• Fabrication
• Cutting
• Custom mounting typically required

Which is fortunate, because modern Mopar engine bays already resemble densely packed horsepower warehouses.

Full aluminum construction with durable, TIG-welded end tanks

Why Upgrade the Challenger Radiator?

Common reasons Challenger owners upgrade radiators include:

• Hellcat heat management
• Drag racing cooling needs
• Preventative maintenance
• High-horsepower reliability
• Heat soak reduction
• Summer driving performance

A performance radiator remains one of the smartest upgrades for high-powered muscle cars because:

• Heat kills consistency quickly
• Supercharged engines generate massive thermal load
• Repeated pulls overwhelm factory cooling systems fast

Especially once pulley upgrades enter the conversation.

Two-row, 1.96″ thick brazed aluminum core, providing ideal fluid temperatures in the street and strip
Increases core thickness by 50% for greater cooling efficiency and adds .5 gal of additional fluid capacity
Includes Magnetic Drain Plug to capture any metallic debris/fragments in your cooling system and comes with the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty

Final Verdict

For Dodge Challenger SRT, Scat Pack, and Hellcat owners wanting serious cooling improvements and long-term reliability, the Mishimoto Performance Aluminum Radiator delivers major thermal management upgrades with rugged aluminum construction.

Key benefits include:

• Thick 1.96-inch dual-row core
• Full aluminum construction
• TIG-welded end tanks
• Improved street and strip cooling
• Ideal for Hellcat and tuned builds
• Direct-fit installation

Most importantly, your Challenger finally stops treating every full-throttle pull like a thermal emergency drill.
