You could get a raw steel pan and have it coated with the ceramic coating that is used on headers. I've used the stuff on intakes too. Even when scratched they don't corrode. Back in 1986 I bought a set of cheap headers for 69.00 and had them stripped and ceramic coated (black) I ran them for about 10 years on my car, gave them to a friend and he is still using them! I use Airborn Coatings.
