Lol, what an odd thing to do!! The benefit will be that it sounds cool I guess! Either that, or it had a cone filter that has fallen off somewhere.
The downside will be that it's sucking in all sorts of crap, so really not a good idea lol. Should just need the housing, filter and any piping that has also been removed.

You might want to see what other 'mods' the previous did, removing the air box makes a aggressive sound, but not as aggressive as the contaminants eating your engine due to it.....

Just get some plastic piping and an aftermarket filter will be much better

Standard on the 1.6 isn't bad.....if you're getting that in a puddle you've probably got bigger problems lol. I wouldn't bother buying new though. Either go to scrap yard and get a standard setup or go for a cone filter.

Some CLOWN thought it'd be funny to do this to my MK4 Astra when I'd just got it!
