I suspect that the "wart" is a Helmholz resonator which would be designed to cancel noise at a certain frequency, in order to quiet the car down. I have not had my intake tube out yet, but I suspect that the tube does not just dump into the "wart" -- it probably resembles a smooth tube inside with a small hole or slot allowing the tuned chamber to connect with the intake tube. It may not be as bad as it looks from the outside.
