designing a new intake

now that it's getting colder, and I have a little money to play with, I'm planing on redesigning my intake. The stock intake has two air boxes before that filter. I'm really not sure what the purpose of these are, it kind of seems like it's to "fill up" the engine compartment to make it look good for customers. One box quite large, looks like about .750 gallons. I've pulled this mess out before, and everything seems to work just fine & millage was the same. So i could use this as part of the system if it has benefits, but it's plastic....
I was thinking i would move the air filter out (maybe swap it for a cone) and run the intake air over an exhaust pipe to heat is before going over the throttle.

My mane questions and concerns are;
dose the air box system have benefits
How hot is beneficial, it's there an ideal temp
And At what temp will i mess up my MAP sensor (and other stuff in my intake manifold)
