unless the system has a MAP sensor ... no

umm
no , your modification will not have any effect at all .

the MAF just counts the air , that's all , it can not measure pressure , directly , some systems like Ford s can use the MAF flow at WOT to CALCULATE BARO .

because VE is known and displacement is known and temperature is known and RPM is known .
pressure can be calculated .

feed back from the AFR sensor or 02 sensor will keep fuel trim and actual AFR right where the ECM wants it to be , to the limit of authority of the AFR sensor or 02 sensor .
==================================
so if flow is restricted , by your foot or by the plumbing , the result is the same
but
at WOT , your VE will suffer , strangled by the restriction.
altogether , not a good idea .
=====================================
why do you think it is a good idea ?
Does an 06 civic , your 06 civic even have a baro PID ? if yes , does the system arrive at the value using a MAP / Pressure / Baro sensor or a calculation ?
==========================
culled from the list of available PIDs for a 2006 Honda CRv

....
dding (22): All Injector Deactivation Mode
Adding (23): AT 'D' Position Switch
Adding (24): AT Neutral-Parking Switch
Adding (25): AT-CVT Reverse Position Switch Input Status
Adding (26): Barometric Air Pressure
Adding (27): Barometric Air Pressure - Volts

Adding (28): Battery Voltage
Adding (29): Block Learn For IG Timing Collection For Knocking Control
Adding (30): Block Learn For IG Timing Collection For Knocking Control EGR Condition
Adding (31): Brake Switch .....

we see a PID for Baro pressure and Baro sensor voltage , indicating that the value is measured by a pressure sensor , not calculated .

HHO is also a bad idea --------
