It could be a moisture build up issue. Do you do mostly short trip driving where the moisture doesn't get a good chance to cook out of the exhaust system?

^ What are you thinking, it's from salty ocean air? Is he near the coast perhaps, that could be it.

Heh, heh, I wasn't suggesting you had sea air in Colorado.
Sea water contains magnesium chloride, and sea air near the coast is corrosive. If he lives near the coast, that could be the source of his internal corrosion build up.
