I've heard that it can be coated with a ceramic to prevent this. What's the down side of doing this? What's the cost? Should I do the intake manifold as well? Thanks for any opinions!

Another option is flame spraying. When I restored my '36 PU in the 1970s exhaust pipes were raw steel, not aluminized like today. I had the exhaust pipes flame sprayed with aluminum and 40+ years later they still look like the day the aluminum was sprayed on.
