Default Heat problem with engine starting

Has anyone ever had a problem with starting there car with a 4 to 1 exhaust right nxt to there starter motor?My starter motor is short in length and its sat right nxt to the exhaust manifold I think there is a couple of mm gap between them both.When its cold its fine but ive noticed the car warms up rather quickly with this manifold on and when it gets red hot in the engine bay the car wont start again.Seems a silly question but worth an ask
