It's a lot of money, but so is almost every mod on a car. If you want it get it. If not, don't. I would be willing to bet it won't give you more than 5 hp tops though.

apex n1 is worth it indeed but becareful with cat-back or axle-back because i've heard numerous comments on how the piping goes under the lca making ground clearence and issue if your car is lowered.

you can get a catback, or you could just get some custom piping put together w/ a magnaflow or flowmaster or one of those. Just as much power and a nice sound too. Personally I have a Greddy and I like it a lot. Not sure it was worth what I paid for it, but it does its job and it looks and sounds nice so I'm not complaining

An exhaust is well worth it because any other mod you do will just be that much more of a gain, just like other basic mods like an intake. You should do some research to see what exhaust you really want...those ebay catbacks are junk IMO.
