2004 TSX/AT

I replaced the air (in-take) filter after 28K miles, first time doing this
myself.
Here is the old one http://static.flickr.com/77/227741387_9fee2a0d8a_o.jpg

Question:
1) I want to make sure I didn't screw anything up:
So what are the signs that I can sense that indict something is NOT right ?

2) This old one is not re-cycleable is it ? like no place takes it back for
re-cycle ?

thanks !

Basically, if the seam is even all the way around, it's back correctly.

Not recyclable. Toss in trash.

The materials are worthless anyway, like most paper and plastic. There's
a reason the government has to give subsidies to paper and plastic
makers to get them to take post-consumer waste.

Assume the filter is put in "crooked" somehow
or say there are some gap(s)
or say the housing is not tightened enough

what are the signs I can hear/feel when the car engine is running ?
