Important Information - Safety
WARNING: Before starting the installation of any ATV, UTV, or SXS aftermarket parts, it is important to prioritize safety. Make sure you are using suitable protective gear, this includes but is not limited to safety goggles, gloves and protective clothing.
Ensure your vehicle is on flat, stable ground. Installing parts on uneven or unstable surfaces can potentially lead to injury or damage to the vehicle. The vehicle should be turned off and cooled down before proceeding with the installation. Attempting to install parts on a running or hot vehicle can result in burns or other serious injuries.
After completing installation, it is important to inspect and check the tightness of any and all nuts, screws, and bolts. Failure to properly secure these fasteners can lead to component failure or detachment during riding, posing significant safety risks to both the rider and bystanders. The vehicle should be warmed up and subsequently cooled down to account for any thermal expansion or contraction effects that may affect the tightness of the fasteners.
It is crucial to inspect and tighten screws and bolts as necessary after initial rides, as vibrations and stresses during operation can cause fasteners to loosen over time.
It is important to pay close attention to the condition of the exhaust system and undertake the necessary measures to maintain optimal performance. Failure to properly maintain the exhaust system can result in reduced engine performance and potential safety hazards. Remember to repack exhausts as necessary to ensure efficient exhaust flow and minimize any potential restrictions that could adversely affect performance.
Prior to starting the installation process, it is important to thoroughly read all provided instructions to familiarize yourself with the installation procedures and any specific requirements or precautions. Failure to follow the instructions could result in improper installation or component failure.
Please check your local laws and regulations governing the use of aftermarket parts on your vehicle. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in legal repercussions, fines, or other penalties. Therefore, it is important to research and understand the applicable laws and regulations before installing aftermarket parts on your vehicle. Always ensure that any modifications made to your vehicle comply with local regulations.

Important Information - Fuel Tuning
The use of an aftermarket performance exhaust requires a crucial step - EFI tuning. RJWC Powersports exhaust systems must be accompanied by a proper re-flashing or use of an EFI Tuner to prevent the engine from running lean, which can result in engine damage. To guarantee a correct air to fuel mixture, make sure to adhere to the manufacturer’s recommended settings for your fuel tuner.
Neglecting to properly tune the engine using an EFI tuner when using an RJWC Powersports exhaust will void the exhaust warranty. Any problems arising from the engine not running correctly, such as a lean condition or incorrect air/fuel ratio, will not be considered a valid warranty claim.
Please note that if your vehicle differs from the base model, additional modifications such as a different tune, turndown pipe, or other adjustments may be necessary to achieve a proper fit and optimal performance. All RJWC Powersports exhausts are designed and tested on stock-equipped vehicles.
Spark Arrestor & Shim Ring Installation
The Spark Arrestor and Shim Ring are not pre-installed, they can be found in the Hardware Kit.
To install the Spark Arrestor, start by removing the End Tip. Unscrew the four M6x20 Cylinder Screws in the End Tip to remove it.
There is a small circular groove in the End Cap, in this groove you need to place the Shim Ring first, then the Spark Arrestor.
With the Shim Ring and Spark Arrestor in place, reinstall the End Tip by screwing back in the M6x20 Cylinder Screws.
Removing the Stock Exhaust
Remove the four springs that connect the stock pipes, keep the gasket safe as this will be re-used when connecting the APX Exhaust.
Remove the rear bumper. With the springs and the rear bumper removed, pull the exhaust towards you to remove it from the rubber bushings.
Installing the APX Exhaust
Place the Dual Muffler clamps around the APX exhaust cans. Use 2x M5x16 Cylinder Screws and 2x M5 Washers on each side to secure the clamps in place.
Do not tighten the clamps fully, as their positioning may need to be adjusted.
Place the G2 Gasket in-between the pipe and the APX can, lining up the holes between all three. Use 5x M6x20 Hex Flange Screws to secure the pipe to the APX.
The G2 Gasket should be tightly sandwiched between the pipe flange and the APX can.
Install the 2x Brackets onto the bottom of the clamps. Using 2x M8x12 Cylinder Screws for each side. Don’t tighten them fully, they may need to be adjusted.
Use 2x M8x36 Cylinder Screws and thread 1x 8.4 Washer Large and 1x Rubber Bushing onto each screw and set these to the side.
Mount the RJWC bumper using the stock fastenings.
For this step, we recommend having an extra set of hands to help.
Insert the Cylinder Screw from Step 4 into the Bracket and push on 1x Rubber Bushing.
Slide the exhaust into position and slide the Cylinder Screw through the mounting bracket on the bumper, secure this in place with 1x 8.4 Washer Small and 1x Nut.
Repeat this step for the other side.
You can double check the installation of the muffler to the bumper/frame with the above image.
Mounting Order:
- 1x Cylinder Screw
- 1x Large Washer
- 1x Rubber Bushing
Insert these through the first bracket, then add:
- 1x Rubber Bushing
Insert this through the Bumper Bracket and secure with:
- 1x Small Washer
- 1x Nut
This is repeated for both sides.
Adjust the clamps and brackets to line up the pipes, and use 4x Exhaust Springs to connect the pipes. When lined up and mounted, tighten all screws, bolts and nuts.
With the exhaust mounted you need to tighten all screws in place. You should start your vehicle, allow the exhaust to get warm and shut the machine down to cool. When it is cool, double check all screws and bolts and retighten them.
After your first ride, double check all screws and bolts and retighten.
You have now completed the installation of the Can-Am Outlander 500-700 Dual Centered APX.
