Need input: Weird engine sound

As some of you guys know this weekend I welded by exhaust manifold to my up-pipe and I finished the install today.
When I turned on my car it sounded fine. However, after I turned off my car I heard a weird sound that came from the back of the engine. It sounded like my car was trying to turn over. It kinda sounded like I forgot to intall my coilpacks.
Do you guys have any clue what this could be?
The only thing I did different in this install was that I didn't prime my oil feed line. But I heard you only have to do this once when you first install it.

Sounds like your starter solenoid may be sticking. If you are describing the sound correctly. Which means that after you start the car your starter will continuously be in the on mode and spinning while you drive/idle and what not.

but if it was sticking then I would have a horrible sound when I am in idle or driving, correct? The sound only occurs right after I turn off my car.
