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
To remove the stock muffler, you will need to remove bolts from three mounting points.
Two lower bolts, which are underneath the stock muffler.
One bolt on the upper right side of the frame.
Loosen and remove the clamp securing the stock exhaust pipe.
You will also need to remove four M8 Bolts and four M6 Bolts from the rear bumper to remove it.
You can now fully remove the stock muffler.
Installing the APX Exhaust
With the Stock Exhaust removed, start by applying the supplied 1x Heat Pad as shown in the picture. Make sure to use an Alcohol Wipe or something similar to clean the area before attaching.
To start with connecting the APX Exhaust to the frame, use the 1x Mounting Bracket.
Insert 1x M8x70 Hexagon Bolt through the rear frame and add 1x 8.4x35 Washer and one 1x Rubber Bushing onto the Bolt. Slide on the 1x Mounting Bracket.
Add 1x Rubber Bushing, followed by 1x 8.4x35 Washer so that the mounting bracket is ‘sandwiched’ between each rubber bushing.
Add 1x 8.4 Washer and 1x Nut with Collar onto the Bolt to secure it in place.
Repeat these steps to attach the other side of the Mounting Bracket to the fame.
With the 1x Mounting Bracket ready on the machine. Place the 1x Top Clamp and 1x Bottom Clamp on the exhaust and secure them in place with 4x M5x16 Cylinder Screws with 4x M5 A2 Washers. </p><p>The 1x Bottom Clamp has as threaded insert in the bottom of it. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/r1WE86rb1EK6J4Mv/hc/MdAV17qk8r6ZWgaX/2025022513-8f11d510-e02a-4fd8-ba68-d0dfd3adfcb1-ren3.png" style="width: 592px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></p><p><br></p><style id="isPasted"> <!-- br { mso-data-placement:same-cell; } table { mso-displayed-decimal-separator:"\."; mso-displayed-thousand-separator:"\, "; } tr { mso-height-source:auto; mso-ruby-visibility:none; } td { border:.5pt solid windowtext; } .NormalTable{cellspacing:0;cellpadding:10;border-collapse:collapse;mso-table-layout-alt:fixed;border:none; mso-border-alt:solid windowtext .75pt;mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-border-insideh:.75pt solid windowtext;mso-border-insidev:.75pt solid windowtext} .fontstyle0 { font-family:FuturaPT-Book; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; color:rgb(36,32,33); } .fontstyle1 { font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; color:rgb(0,0,0); } -->
Place 1x Gasket G2 in between the pipe and the APX, 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.
Mount the exhaust to the 1x Mounting Bracket by holding it place and fastening 1x M8x20 Cylinder Screw with 1x M8 Spring Washer on it tightly.
Fit the Header Pipe in place, attaching the 1x 45-50mm Tab Clamp on the section where the shorter pipe connects to the can sided pipe.
Attach the RJWC Spring to the Tab on the clamp and the tab on the pipe.
Secure the 1x 45-50mm Clamp onto the section of the pipe that connects onto the stock header.
When the exhaust is mounted you need to tighten all screws in place and re-connect the O2 Sensor if your vehicle has one. 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 Renegade (incl. XMR) Single Centered APX.
