try a local muffler shop or home depot for parts if you want to make it yourself......

I haven't done this myself so I cannot tell you how well this will work for our cars but here is a page with some info you might find interesting and informative...

you should be able to use either aluminum or steel. To make it withstand the engine heat, put a few coats of high heat engine paint on the inside and outside.

or better yet, get it ceramic coated if you want to get rid of heat.
