Yes you can if it has the CARB number like mine - and I think most do.
It seemed to help smooth out the idle, but I saw no noticeable difference and it didn't drop my smog test numbers on the dyno. So if you have to do the dyno test, it doesn't do any good. I haven't had it tested at idle to see if that make a difference because the smog guy said "probably not" and this guy knows his stuff.
