you can but they will sound weird imoi...I would go for it as a temporary fix only. save the dough as quick as you can. look in the clasifieds here, some good deals going on in there.....
stock pipe performance
Are there any gains to be had if I cut the plugs ( round metal disk in the center of muffler pipes to direct air into baffles ) on a set of stock pipes, other than the sound? In the past I've always either gone with a totally different head pipe and mufflers or used slip on's. I've got a new jet and intake waiting for me to put them on an flht and was thinking I could install them and punch out the plugs in the mufflers until I get the dough for some slip ons.

i did this-----makes a weird spat spat spat sound. cut the core out and mimmicked the SE mufflers, then welded back together, much nicer sound and instantly went lean.

I punched out the backs of the baffles in my lowrider (when I had it). Just took the slip-on's off, slammed a steel pipe down in (1 1/2" I believe) until it punched them out. Sound improved a TON actually, although the performance didn't really change that I could tell.
