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 factory muffler, loosen the bolt holding the factory exhaust clamp in place.
Remove the upper and lower bracket bolt on the factory muffler, see picture.
Installing the APX Exhaust
Start with installing the 2x Bottom Clamps and 2x Top Clamps. The smooth edge of the clamp should be on the side of the APX can that has the RJWC Powersports Logoplate.
Use 2x M5x16 Cylinder Screws and 2x M5 A2 Washers on each side of the clamps.
Do not tighten these fully as they may need to be adjusted during installation.
Place the 1x Upper Clamp and 1x Lower Clamp around the muffler. Use the 4x M5x16 Cylinder Screw and the 4x M5 Washer to secure the clamps in place.
Do not tighten these fully, as they may need to be adjusted for the positioning of the muffler.
Secure the pipe to the muffler as shown in the above image. To just double check, this pipe should be secured to the APX can that has the logoplate facing the RIGHT side if you have the endtip towards you.
Place the 1x G2 Gasket between the flange of the pipe and the APX can, lining up the 5 holes and securing it tightly with 5x M6x20 Hex Flange Screws.
Secure the pipe to the muffler as shown in the above image. To just double check, this pipe should be secured to the APX can that has the logo plate facing the LEFT side if you have the endtip towards you.
Place the 1x G2 Gasket between the flange of the pipe and the APX can, lining up the 5 holes and securing it tightly with 5x M6x20 Hex Flange Screws.
Place the third pipe as shown in the above image, using 2x 45-50mm Exhaust Clamps where the pipes connect.
Do not tighten these fully as the pipes may need to be shifted during installation.
Install the 1x Clamp Bracket to each of the APX using 2x M8x12 Allen Bolts.
When secured the Clamp Brackets should look like the above picture.
Important - Read Carefully!
If your Hardware Kit includes the 2x Mounting Brackets as shown in the above image, install them as shown (your mounting brackets will not be green).
Use 2x M5x10 Cylinder Screws on the upper holes, and use 1x M5x16 Cylinder Screw on the lower hole. Repeat this step for both sides
Install the 2x Frame Brackets as the picture shows, these are the same for both sides.
Use 2x Aluminum Spacers on each Frame Bracket as a support on the inside of the brackets against the vehicle frame
Secure these in place with 2x M6 6.4 Washers and 2x M6x45 Cylinder Screws on each side
We recommend having a second set of hands to help out with this step as we'll be mounting the exhaust to the vehicle.
Thread 1x 8.4x35 Washer and 1x Rubber Bushing onto 1x M8x30 Hexagon Screw.
Insert this into the1x Frame Bracket that was previously installed to the frame of the vehicle.
Add 1x Rubber Bushing to the screw to sandwich the Frame Bracket, slide this through the Mounting Bracket and secure with 1x Nut.
Tighten until each Rubber Bushing is squeeezed to 50% of its original thickness.
Repeat this for the other side
Keeping the screws slightly loose on the muffler clamps and the exhaust clamps will allow you slightly adjust the fitment of the exhaust to when mounting it to the frame with the frame brackets, and lining up the pipe.
When the exhaust is 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 G2 Dual Split APX.
