Default Update - FIXED - Gap at bottom of the air filter housing?

I was checking my air filter to see how dirty it was (not very, thankfully), and when I put the air box back together, it seems like there's a small gap at the bottom. I've been driving with it like this for a while and assumed it was normal for it to look like this, but something told me I should check again. So I did, and I think there's a chance some air is making it in around the air filter (unfiltered air, if you will). Does anyone else have this same gap at the lower end of the air box?




Notice how the air box seems to fit together snugly at the top, but gets wider as it goes lower.

Default I fixed it.



There are two holes at the bottom of the air box support, which two little nubs on the bottom of the air box are supposed to fit into. It took some finagling, but I got it looking straight and flush again.
