It is to allow movement as the engine is on rubber mounts and the air filter bolted to the inner wing originally.

A more smooth item would improve flow yes.

Yes the maf sensor will not see all the air the engine is drawing in.. ignition will be advanced further than it should be and it will run lean.. duck tape for the minute until you get a replacement.
