Haven't seen any water-cooled exhaust yet, but it was usual in my country to have a heated intake manifold for dedicated-ethanol cars, and they also had a thermostatically-controlled valve to trim the intake air temperature and select the air from a hotter stream for a quicker warm-up.

Maybe you could eventually combine a water-cooled exhaust with a heater core at the intake side.
