That's pretty expensive for an HKS clone. PM mrwong@statik for a much better deal. He's a vendor on this board, and an awesome guy to deal with.

Here's his thread. $390 shipped, little less if you're local and can pick up.

You'll get some gains over the stock exhaust, and how it sounds is subjective. Though you should be aware that HKS clones suffer from misalignment, cheap tips that turn brown, and a lot of drone. But all that can be fixed by buying better quality tips, and having an exhaust shop replace the h-pipe with a magnaflow x-pipe. Just do a search for "X02 exhaust", and you'll see everyone's opinion on it.

I installed an exhaust from Statik. There aren't any rasp at all. It's just super low pitch and when letting of the gas, you'll get a popping sound. The droning is pretty bad lol. The fitment on the passenger muffler needed the hangars to be bent.

Search x02 like already stated, there are many threads about this exhaust with many clips. Or just search youtube if you really are that lazy, there are plenty there too.

Lots of different exhaust clips, including the x02.

And my bad, I actually meant a lot of drone on the x02, not rasp.
