Which boots are you using?
This may not be relevant, but my friends in the repair business have sworn off all CV boots that do not come from the dealer. They've tried every aftermarket "OEM" labelled CV boot with horrible results. The only ones worth buying are dealer supplied.

I bet its the driver side CV that failed (s), which is right next to your exhaust. Is the pipe wrapped in a heat shield? I loose a boot every now and again, some last, some don't, so am forced to carry spares. What a mess.... Exhaust heat shield, vent tubes and Redline grease help for sure, but you should get a season from them.
