No.
The car generates LESS horsepower as you progress past 5800 RPM's. Revving it to the stock redline of 6750 is perfectly adequate for any form of racing on the stock internals.
The only time you will need to raise redline on this motor is by either changing out to a set of "abusive" cams or swapping pistons with much higher compression units. Anything less than that, and your motor makes no additional power past the stock rev limiter.
You'd just be going slower, while exponentially increasing the wear on your motor. There are well-defined physics principles behind why your car is only "allowed" to redline below 7K that you cannot change without serious internal upgrades.

If you own a 2.0L motor, and it's in your 1996 or later Elantra, the redline is at 6750 RPM's. There are no exceptions.
If you own an automatic transmission, it may be that your tranny automatically shifts before you bounce the revlimiter. Or it may be that your tachometer needs to be adjusted.
Your redline IS 6750.
