Cans do very little, removing the restriction in the pipes has to be done and is worth plenty of ponies. See here for the difference race pipes alone make to an MC28.
The airbox is a restriction but the '28 has far bigger problems, mainly the pipes and ignition.

Tyga did a bit of a '28 on a std card here
