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 factory muffler, loosen the clamp where the muffler connects to the header.
You can then loosen the 2 bolts and nuts where the muffler sits in the aluminum rear bar.
There is a bracket behind the muffler on the right side that you need to remove.
You will also need to remove the seat, as well as the back plastic panel. In addition to removing the rear strut bar.
Installing the APX Exhaust
To start the installation, the Voltage Regulator needs to be relocated.
Disconnect the cables from the Voltage Regulator, and remove the the bolts that hold the Voltage Regulator to the frame.
Re-use the stock bolts to secure the Voltage Regulator to the 1x Voltage Regulator Bracket.
Secure the 1x Voltage Regulator Bracket to the frame with 2x M8x20 Cylinder Screws and the 2x 8.4 Washers.
Secure the 1x Top Clamp and 1x Bottom Clamp to each APX can. The threaded inserts should be on the opposite side of the logo plate.
For each set, use 2x M5x16 Cylinder Screws and 2x M5 A2 Washes to loosely secure the clamps.
It's important to keep them a little loose as we may need to adjust them when mounting the exhaust.
Use the above image as reference when installing the pipes to the APX cans. The RJWC Powersports logoplates should always be facing outwards.
Place the 1x Gasket G2 between the pipe flange and the right APX can, lining up the five holes and use 5x M6x20 Hex Flange Screws to secure it in place. The RJWC Powersports Logoplate should face outwards to the right, and the pipe should curve to the left.
Repeat this for the left APX can, the pipe should go split and go straight back, with a section turning right. Place the 1x Gasket G2 between the pipe flange and the right APX can, lining up the five holes and use 5x M6x20 Hex Flange Screws to secure it in place.
Loosely secure the 1x 45-50mm clamp where the pipes connect together. Keep it a little loose as it might need to be adjusted when mounting the exhaust to the vehicle.
We recommend having a second set of hands to help out with the next few steps when mounting the exhaust to the frame.
Start by placing the 1x Mounting Bracket on the frame as shown in the picture above.
Use the 4x M8x40 Hexagon Screws and add 1x 8.4 Washer to each one.
Taking them in sets of two, slide them on the 1x Square Bracket and push on 1x Rubber Bushing to each screw. Then put them through the holes in the mounting bracket.
We recommend having someone hold the APX in place as you will need to add 1x Rubber Bushing to sandwich the Mounting Bracket between them and add one more 1x Square Bracket.
Then secure these into the threaded holes in the top of the clamp on the APX can. This needs to be repeated for both sides.
Use the above image for a reference for how the mounting set-up should look when complete on both sides.
Use the stock bolt and nut to secure the 1x Mounting Bracket to the frame.
Insert 1x M8x20 Screw through the middle of the mounting bracket, from underneath the frame add the 1x Square Washer and 1x M8 Nut with Collar.
With the APX Exhaust mounted to the frame, use the second 1x 45-50mm Clamp to secure the pipe in place close to where the O2 sensor is. Reconnect the O2 sensor and adjust the pipe connection between the two APX cans if needed and secure the clamp tightly.
Double check all screws, bolts and nuts and retighten them - especially those on the clamps.
Use an Alcohol Wipe or something similar to clean any dirt from your fuel tank, then place the provided similar to the above image.
Install the 1x Bumper Plate to the rear frame of the vehicle, using the 4x M6x50 Cylinder Screws, inserting the from the inside of the frame outwards. Using the 4x M6 Nut with Collar to secure the bumper in place.
When the exhaust is mounted you need to tighten and check all screws, nuts and bolts and 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 G2 Dual Split APX.
