The past year and a half i've had to replace the muffler twice. Seems that a condensation builds up in the corners of the muffler and over time, rusts through. It may be because I live in the UP of michigan and my car is always outside, but i've always had my car outside when i lived by detroit. Any ideas?

If you make lots of short trips the condensation inside the exhaust system never gets a chance to burn off and ends up rotting out your exhaust system from the inside. Due to the action of the cat converter the resulting water and vapor is highly acidic. Take longer drives. laugh
