Hole in 2006 Honda Accord air filter housing?

I have a 2006 Honda Accord and when I changed my air filter today I noticed a hole on the bottom of the housing about and inch wide. Is this normal? Is it supposed to be there? Or did something get ripped off the bottom? Also filter is full of soot and cigarette butts and insects in there. Do I need to be concerned?

inch wide, odd, may have been a spot for a resonator pipe to feed the air, as far as the cig butts? Maybe someone was in the process of making their own filter c/o Biodome

you need to change that air filter, and as for the hole, does it look like a factory hole, or a break?, if its a break, put some duct tape over it.
get a new air filter not good for your pockets or your air filter
With a plastic housing, just get a scrape of plastic (flat, like from a big laundry detergent bottle) and circle the hole with a bead of hot glue maybe 1/4%26quot; diameter, press down plastic. Should be airtight seal. Repeat on the other side just to make sure.
