You would have to replace it with "whether" and, then, if you simply HAD TO HAVE the implied "or not" in there, you could tack it on to the end.

Of course it would sound like shit. Again, that would only be due to the fact you wrote a sentence that sounds like shit.
I'm not the one going on about implied magic words.
