Default K&N Intake question

I got a K&N FIBK intake about three weeks ago I was just wondering I see pictures of people with there K&N intakes with a drilled hole and a tube going in there I saw on my intake that there was a little circle that is meant to be drilled into to put a sensor of some sort I was just wondering on a 2003 Mustang GT is it supposed to be drilled and is there supposed to be something put in there? Lmk if this doesn't make sense and I will try again

im pretty sure it's a hole for an air intake temperature sensor. the newer mustangs have it integrated in the MAF sensor so there is no need for an additional sensor.

Correct, the 99-01 Mustang GTs had a separate IAT sensor in the inlet air tubing. (The 96-98's may have one too)
