Just installed the Speedlogix front strut tower brace. No instructions with the part, but a good video on YouTube helped greatly with the details.

Went in no problem- just a methodical install, and here are two pics.

Difficult to quantify the difference, but the car runs significantly "tighter" going down the road. I guess that makes sense- this car has most of it proportional weight over the front end.

I would also guess the rear trunk mount 4 point brace- not installed, yet will add to the rigidity feel,

Would I do it again? Not sure. It tightens up the feel of the car - basically in every aspect or driving, but it it puts a finer edge on the car. And I am not autocrossing or road coursing the car.

YMMV

Never heard anyone complain that they did not perform as advertised. Never any regrets.
Right. I had read some of Speedlogix reviews and quality concerns so I hadn't made the purchase yet. Overall, I like that design but then again, there are very few options. I think the Petty design may not fit behind the supercharger for the Redeye. Maybe I just missed a post from someone that has used the Petty design but I'm not a big fan of their intercooler reservoir tank

To my recollection the Pettys Garage brace and the Speed Logix were the only 2 that fit. Hopefully I'll find out for myself soon enough.

PG fan here but mine is just the standard Challenger HC. Welds are super nice and the paint match is right on. Reservoir tank, although 1 pint less capacity, is not a concern. PS, I wouldn’t buy anything from Speedlogix. Here’s a pic of both just for laughs.

Maybe 2 years ago the horror stories came pouring in about SL. Customer service, not getting products after months, all kinds of bad juju. I have both PG braces and their bolt in sub frame connectors. All super awesome.

In process of scheduling PG install both front and back on my 2021 SS. From what I recall, based on conversations; the PG front brace for the redeye and SS is different due to the placement of a "solenoid for the race cooler". PG has the item available but it is not currently listed on the website, will update with pictures and more details post install.

well- got the Speedlogix rear brace today. No instructions and the Youtube video that I used for the front, sucked in providing any detail for the rear, specifically the strut tower brace fitment.

So I got it fitted regardless, and it was a pain in the ass. No templates, no hardware, etc.

But it's fitted. I guess, by the number of "likes" the Youtube video has- 35, there are not a lot of people working on these cars like this.

And I took it for a quick spin, and it feels marginally "tighter" going down the road, but I believe I have lost my baseline perspective on what the car was before- It is definitely very "taught" rolling down the road, and no interior noises whatso ever, related to chassis.

What does it mount to in the center by the rear seat?

It's crazy we can't have instructions of some sort.

Those two threaded posts are there to retain the seats. Install all pretty straight forward but it sucks if they dont provide a template for cutting the trunk liner. My Petty piece had a template, which made for an almost seemless install rather than a plug to cover the holes.

^^ What I liked about the Speedlogix was the front bolted into place without need for any additional parts (coolant tank for the S/C over the passenger side shock tower), and for the rear, I made a template myself out of cardboard. But agree, a template would have been nice.

I have the 16 Challenger Cat: the front brace to me was a no brainer for installation and I did'nt have to remove the cover over the wiper motor as in your photo.
I have the same 4 point brace in the rear as you and yes for sure a template would have been great as some other brands have them. Mine looked like a butcher job and the best I could do after was buy the covers that SL sells to cover the holes at the rear shock towers. Not great but?
I like the rear brace because I can wrap a small aluminum floor jack up in a blanket and bungie it to the back side of the brace near the rear seat. I would preferer to use the floor jack to change a tire if need be.
