No, they have some kind of honeycomb design that also serves as some kind of catalytic
converter. If you try to take them out you will proably destroy the pipes. Like the rest of us, if you want a little more crackle, you'll have to go buy some slip-on's

Only the California bikes have cats on them, and they are in the head pipes before the muffler. Get yourself a long 1/2 inch drill bit and drill a few holes thought the baffle plate and you'll be fine.
