Mine does, but where you cut it affects how good of a fit you end up with. I cut mine three times before I got back to where the pipe fit in nicely. Of course there is a clamp there too, and if you have any doubts, you could always clean the inside surface real well (carb cleaner) and use silicone RTV to fill any possible gaps. I didn't RTV mine (fits good) because I take the carb out alot and it is handy to be able to loosen it there.
