Default Battery Light

Hello All,

have a question, hope someone can help me out with. i just had a true dual exhaust system (flowmaster) installed on my 81 c3.

now unlike ever before when running at higher speeds, like above 1800 RPM's or so, the battery light in the console flashes. when i run at lower speeds in the city, no flash.

i can hear like an arch sound when the light flashes. Anybody have an idea what might be wrong ???

Thanks

Somebody may have screwed up a wire near the starter during the exhaust installation.
