FWIW-I had my last Tri-Mill 'Bobcat' style Baja extractor flamed
sprayed with aluminum.  Not the most current and technically
advanced method as I believe that its been around since the '40's,
but was cheap and effective.  Ran me about $45 if memory serves.
After the flamespray I simply used a high temp paint to cover the
open aluminum pores.  That exhaust looked fresh and no rust was
noticed after a couple of years outside in our glorious Pacific NW
weather.
