It will depend on the type of muffler you have in the first place. If it is a straight through, one you can see daylight through, then no! Thats as good as it gets. If the muffler is a baffle type, has a long tube inside that bends back and forth, then finally exits the pipe then yes, gutting will help but the noise level rises to the edge of obnoxious. Most stock 150 mufflers are a baffle type. It is better to swap for a straight through design muffler. Use a straight through muffler that has a 1 &1/4" inner dia. use a pipe reducer on the intake side to fit it to your stock lead pipe.
