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
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.
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.
Install the 1x Mounting Bracket onto the 1x Upper Clamp. Use the 2x M8x20 Cylinder Screws and 2x Spring Washers.
Do not tighten these fully, as they may need to be adjusted for the positioning of the muffler.
We recommend getting a second set of hands to help with this next step.
With the 1x M8x30 Cylinder Screw, slide on 1x Washer 8.4 and 1x Rubber Bushing. Insert this into the Mounting Bracket as shown in the picture above and slide on 1x Rubber Bushing to sandwich the bracket. Insert this through the frame of the vehicle and secure with 1x M8 Nut with Collar.
Slide the 1x Exhaust Clamp on the pipe and install the exhaust, tighten the clamp with a 5mm allen key.
Tighten down the 2x Rubber Washers until they are compressed to half their thickness.
In case you have a lambda sond on your vehicle, remove the plug in the sensor bung and install the sensor.
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 G2 Single APX.
