question
Will this work well with achieving the sunray effect during sunrise/sunset? Will this filter effect the look of the image in any other way?
This will not help with the sunray effect at sunrise or sunset. It will give more of a twinkle/pointed star effect of the sun or any other prominent light sources, such as the example shown with the street lamps.

question
does this effect exposure at all? If so by how many stops?
According to B+W, the filter factor of their Cross Screen 8x filters is 0, so there should be little to no affect on exposure.
