Yes, once the sleeves are removed, it would be like having your 6-ports always, open but slightly better cause there will be less turbulence. And yes, you can now put in your Pineapple sleeves after removing the old ones.

Pros-better top end and you dont have to worry about them accuating and the extra weight of the air pump (or whatever you are using)
Cons-Lower bottom end acceleration, but.... who "races" before 3000 anyways?
im going to get the Pineapple Racing sleeves and loctite them bad boys in there..... Have Phun!
