Brendan's VB Build

The best parts for a 2022-2026 WRX (VB) build are the ones that fix the car's balance first: a cat-back exhaust for sound and flow, matched front and rear sway bars for flatter cornering, and an equal length header for the FA24. Brendan's VB Build collects exactly that recipe: the ETS Cat-Back Exhaust, Cusco sway bars, a GrimmSpeed header, and a Nameless Performance strut tower bar, all listed for the 22-26 WRX.

A build collection like this is a parts list, not a random bundle: every item was chosen for the same car and the same goal. The exhaust and header work on the gas-flow side of the FA24, while the sway bars and strut tower bar work on the chassis side, reducing body roll and sharpening turn-in. When you copy a build, check your year and model against each listing, since everything here is listed for the 22-26 WRX, and think about installation order, because exhaust and header work is easier when it is done on the same lift day. The full 22+ WRX collection carries the wider range of parts for this platform.

The Brands Behind the Build

Extreme Turbo Systems is known in this store for turbo-platform exhaust and intake hardware, and its cat-back for the 22-26 WRX anchors the airflow side of this build. Cusco supplies the chassis parts it is known for, here a 26mm front and 21mm rear sway bar pairing sized as a matched set for the VB chassis rather than a single-bar upgrade. GrimmSpeed contributes the Equal Length Header for the FA24, the Subaru engine platform its catalog is built around. Nameless Performance rounds out the list with its front strut tower bar, which ties the front struts together to complement the sway bars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all of these parts fit my 2022-2026 WRX?

Every product sampled from this collection is listed for the 22-26 WRX, including the FA24 header. Still, check your year and model on each product page before ordering, especially if your car falls at either end of the range.

Why upgrade both sway bars instead of just the rear?

This build uses a matched Cusco pairing, 26mm front and 21mm rear, so roll stiffness rises at both ends and the car's balance stays predictable instead of shifting sharply toward one axle.

Does the header or exhaust require a tune?

Requirements vary by part and by car, so check the individual product listings for guidance and plan on professional tuning advice before running airflow changes on the FA24. Do not assume any exhaust-side part is tune-free.

Can I install these parts at home?

Sway bars and a strut tower bar are common driveway jobs with the car safely supported, while exhaust and header work is easier on a lift. If you are unsure, have a shop handle the exhaust side.
