I do believe an exhaust can add some power, but 15 hp to ~150 hp accord sounds a bit too good to be true (10 percent power gains aren't usually that easy or cheap). I haven't explored exhausts for my 9-5 too much yet, but I've investigated a ton of them for my miata, and dyno testing usually shows a max of a few horsepower increase, as far as I can tell.
I'm sure a few of the regulars here have upgraded their exhausts and can give you some first hand advice.
Congrats on the new car, I'm sure you'll love it!
