No - just in case you were serious - the shockwave patterns through the intake and subsequent airflow patterns through the engine / primary & secondary nozzles are critical. When running, the whole system is finely tuning itself to engine thrust settings and ambient air conditions (first use of a digital computer in an aircraft, they tell me) - the thrust force vector added by the intake and exhaust controls makes it possible to dispense with reheat above M1.7. Chop the engine, the spill doors open and the whole unit is shut down, intake and exhaust included.
