Most people that have Maxhaust probably would want it active while in comfort mode (the idle noise is decent), and you wouldn’t get that on startup if it was tied to the ICE.

Yes, but typically the starter solenoid has a hot connection directly from the battery. The solenoid also has a circuit to trigger its operation, but the hot lead is a heavy gauge, always hot, connection directly to the battery. That is usually a good place to tap an "always on" power source...
