check the wires on the starter motor, The down pipe is very near to the starter motor solenoid the main feed from battery is not the problem its the small tigger wire on the starter motor, what happens the heat from the exhaust heats the bolt which Eventually works lose. either repair or replace the starter motor and heat wrap the down pipe.
