Yes the end is open and there's a hole in the inner fender it goes up against.

Here's a dyno test that lists the air temp

Yes, they do supply a plug for it and I'm not sure if the dyno test was with or without the plug. I figure the more air the better, I know what you mean though because on my old cars my air scoops are above the hood.
Hopefully the cowl induction hood I have planned will eliminate some under hood heat.

On my 03, there's an air tube in the fender, feeding cold air to my Volant airbox. Goes from an air scoop bolted below the front bumper to the bottom of the box. With my stock motor, giving it 1/4 pedal sounded like I was romping on it! Sounded exactly how you described it--like flipping the air cleaner.

This takes at least a 4,000 rpm romp while in park sitting in the driveway to get the sound, I didn't test drive it after I installed it. With the shutdowns I'm not sure when the DMV will reopen to register and tag this thing, my 30 day temp tag is out.

Is that something you made or did it come in the kit or was it stock ?

It came in the kit I bought. Got it used from the forums.
Let me find a pic.....

Ok, found most of the pics. I have over 6,000 pics lol!
This is the complete kit:
The square box is the snorkel piece that actually bolts behind a tow hook:
The hose/pipe that's inside the fender that feeds into the bottom of the air box:
This is the inlet on the bottom of the air box that the hose connects into:
It's a very nice setup. I have a dry high flow air filter with some sort of high flow nylon type cover on it.

That's pretty neat, I chose the AFE because of the dyno results, if I get bored one day I might start digging around in there and see where that hole in the inner fender leads to. Maybe there's a way to get a similar ram air tube up in there, as long as it's above snow level for winter.

Man, I keep calling the muffler shop and they continue to be closed due to the virus outbreak, driving me nuts, I want to get my muffler on ! ..lol
Yesterday I took my t-bucket out for it's first drive of the year and got caught in this freaking rain storm, what a drive to get back home, I couldn't see anything.

Well they finally let the muffler shop reopen here in the crazy pandemic state of NY and I got my Jones muffler installed, I'm digging the sound, a low rumble and not raspy at all. Kinda quiet at idle but voicestriss under throttle, the best part is that it doesn't make the truck sound like something it's not, you know how the fart can imports sound, stock engine that's just loud but somehow they think it sounds like a race car...lol
I still haven't been able to register or license it yet do to DMV being shut down, but I drive it on short trips here and there with the expired paper tag, it's been publicized that they are not enforcing registrations or expired drivers licenses so everything is cool.
My next move here is going to be talking to Black Bear in the next couple days about their tuner and getting a little more mojo under the hood. I was waiting till I freed up the exhaust a bit before doing it and now it's ready.
I'm also really close to ordering that damn hood but the extra hundred bucks for truck shipping is a hurdle I just can't seem to get over...lol

Need to upload a vid of the rumble now.
I’ve had my eye on that one. But kept seeing that it wouldn’t fit an 02’
Everybody say HOE!!!
Tonyrodz

Should fit an 02, same as my 03.
Buy it and if it fits great! If not sale [emoji23]
I feel like maybe that’s an older model and they want you to get a newer one? Could be wrong.
Everybody say HOE!!!
