No. If you decatted it (illegally) then you'd need to put something in the same place - an expansion box perhaps - to ensure that the system had the same acoustic properties.

Without that, the exhaust would resonate at a much lower frequency and completely screw up the scavenging from the cylinder.

Don't. It needs back pressure.
