I did this on both of My Moki's (1.80 and 2.10). I have regulators on both of them so back pressure is not an issue. The only way it would hurt performance is if you use muffler pressure for fuel pressure.
Many people cut the tips off and measure a rise in RPM's, but I didn't measure mine before and after.
