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
There are two different ways to install the exhaust, you can install the exhaust with the bumper in place or remove the bumper. Removing the bumper is the way we would prefer.
If you decide to install the exhaust with a bumper in place, you need to install the inlet pipes first and then the muffler package. You can still follow the manual to see how everything is being bolted together.
Remove the rear bumper, the bolts are located in the locations as the picture shows, then remove the stock muffler.
Installing the APX Exhaust
Install the 1x Dual Clamp around the APX cans, securing them loosely with the 4x M5x16 Cylinder Screws and the 4x M5 A2 Washers. Do not secure them tightly, as the clamps may need to be adjusted during installation.
Secure the inlet pipe pipe to the APX cans with the 10x M6x20 Hex Flange Screws. Place the 2x Gasket G2 between the flange of the pipe and the surface of the APX can. Lining up the 5 holes on all three and securing the pipe in place tightly.
Install the 2x Mounting Brackets, one on each side. Use 2x M8x16 Cylinder screws and 2x Washer 8.4 on each side. Tighten these fully.
Install the 1x Left Bracket and 1x Right Bracket onto the frame.
To make sure the brackets are installed on the correct side, they should 'bend' inwards. You can double check the image below to confirm how they should look.
Use the 4x M8x50 Hexagon Screws and 4x Washer 8.4 inserted through the frame and sliding on the Left and Right Bracket. For the rear two screws, use the big 2x Aluminum Washers as shown in the picture above.
Secure each screw with 1x M8 Nut with Collar to keep the brackets in place.
We recommend having a second set of hands to help with this part of the installation as you will need to hold the APX Exhaust in place while mounting it to the left and right bracket.
It's good to double check at this time that the brackets are installed correctly, with the brackets bend inwards on each side.
Use 1x M8x40 Hexagon Screw and slide on 1x 8.4x35 Washer and 1x Rubber Bushing. Insert this through the right bracket. Push on 1x Rubber Bushing to sandwich the bracket and then insert this through the 1x Mounting Bracket on the exhaust. Securing it in place with 1x M8 Nut with Collar.
Repeat this step again for the other side.
Use the heat pad on the gas tank and the plastic above the exhaust.
Use the 2x 45-50mm clamps to secure the pipes where they are sleeved together.
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 XMR Dual Centered APX.
