Split CV boots are a known 986 problem... Its very likely that the angles the CV joints experience are the culprit.

Was under the car last night installing new trailing arms and looking at components close to the exhaust. There's a large rubber coolant line about 1" away from the right side, front cylinder header pipe, and it looks original and in good condition. So I agree that there shouldn't be a heat related issue with the CV joints. Just another maintenance item with a shorter interval than I'd have guessed.
