No easy answers but, yes, it can but may not. Any time you do a mod such as this it MAY require you to do something else. Such as rejetting the carbs which can be a daunting pain in the ass. This can be dependent on what baffling you have in the muffler as well as what air filter you are using. It's all about air flow. Better/more air flow needs more fuel = rejetting with larger jets and possibly resetting the needle jets to gain more fuel flow at midrange. You have to have the air/fuel ratio correct to make them run right. Be prepared to open a can of #$%* here and learn how to jet if it is necessary.
