Have you ever thought of why HONEYCOMB shape was invented on washing machine tub surface, fridge insulation layer, aircon filter/vent(including GaGa's aircon vent)? Have you ever thought of why SNOWFLAKE structured in hexagonal pattern?
They're not related at all it seems, but there's a speculation of such hexagonal shape best fit with colder molecule. Am wondering if we can have a fibre formed honeycomb structure act as an agent to reshape intake air would helped
But ofcourse, if we wanted the other way round would be using aluminium and or any other metal base materal to form the honeycomb shape it would become even hotter

An extruded honeycomb shape (hexagon arrays) creates most surface area per volume per amount of material used, compared to square, triangular or circular arrays.
Bees create honeycomb shape nests because this way they can fit most amount of chambers in a limited space with minimum amount of wax.
In short, it is simply a more efficient shape if the target is maximum contact surface area with minimum restriction.

Cooler air has a higher density, thus containing more oxygen per volume unit than warmer air(from WIKI). If the intake air is already HOT, given enough time to chill the air, the density wouldn't increase because that's the amount of air taken into the intake funnel 
So, basically you nailed it Heat wrapping doesn't change the combustion, but actual air intake temperature before the intake funnel does. In other word, make the atmosphere cold before you drive out, or plonk NOS To answer on behalf of cikgu CLASS OF tigabelas, water coolant is meant for cooling the engine down, has nothing to do with intake temperature. Older vehicle has a intake design of directing a funnel to exhaust manifold to suck hot air in the winter, whereas another intake funnel pointed between headlamp and radiator for cooler air intake during the summer 
On a general consensus, cooler the better but NOT freezing cold.
Have answered Quazacolt with honeycomb philosophy, not sure whether that will help. The trouble is, honeycomb structure will create more air restriction.
So to sum it up, insulating the intake system has very little effect So, basically you nailed it Heat wrapping doesn't change the combustion, but actual air intake temperature before the intake funnel does.

Stock design is at balanced optimal in all region. When you heat wrap it, at the same time you trap more heat on a standstill, just like oven baking dori fish
