grats! Any idea why someone would get rid of it after so few miles?

I don't like the quad-tips.. but I understand the want for a new exhaust.

Honestly don't get the huge hate for a new exhaust here. I put a new one on my G35.. it reduced weight and added power. It doesn't sound much different from stock though.. maybe a little deeper in the lower RPMs and at highway speeds its about the same as stock.

Nice pick! One of the instructors at a BMW CCA track event I attended last year was driving a Genesis, and it did very well on the track. Hopefully that's not the one you bought. :p

The Genesis Coupe's are sick. I am partial to the 2.0T since it's the Evo X's 4B11 engine. It's not quite proven yet since it still needs to be blueprinted since there fears that the internals might not be as strong plus the turbo is smaller. The engine bay might not be able to take a big upgrade. But you got the 3.8 so no worries.

i hear these cars are having a lot of first year issues.

The only thing I heard of was related to the MT grinding in to 2nd and 5th gear but I have driven a couple hundred miles in the last few days and have experienced no problems. It looks like the problem was related to the transmission fluid and the fix was a different fluid and if it comes down to it I will change it. I was looking to change it out for Royal Purple anyway. There were also some issues with related with the center console software particularly the bluetooth/sound but my car already has the updated software to fix it. If anything else, I still have the full warranty.
