You hear this a lot. The short answer is “no”.
Ray from TBAC started a thread on ARF recently that will be eye opening to some. They got an Ultra 7 back that had seen some 28K rounds of 6.5 CM through it. The silencer weight 10.5oz more than when it was new. Metered >20dB louder than it should.
Data, video and discussion here:

To be clear, this is a very different situation than the comment in my sig.
