From that video it looks like you should be able too. Also, as boost increases so will the sound.

I hate the sound of HKS with the inserts in them. Take the fin out and it wont really get louder - it will get rid of the obnoxious ping noise and simply be all "CHHHHH" noise. I have been running HKS on customer and personal cars without fins for years.

To take the fin out you just unscrew 4 of the 8 allen screws on the front of it...then take off the piece that is now loose (its 4 specific ones but if you google you'll see it - its the same 4 you take off to do the recirc fitting)...then just take the insert out and reverse
