Since you have a JB4, I've read a down pipe will help with performance a bit. Not sure if it'll be too much louder with a stock exhaust but you might hear more of the turbo.

Decide based on what you want.
Really depends, DP with stock exhaust sounds....like the muffler is hollow or something.

DP with catback sounds ridiculously good.

I compared with a buddy who has stock exhaust and DP, and myself DP+catback and the sound was very different, it basically sounded like a different car.

Also, normally aftermarket catbacks weigh less, and are easier to remove if you need to replace anything. They're normally clamped on, while OEM exhaust is all in one piece.

Most people won't bother with a full exhaust system, but if you sat in one vs OEM, you'd probably want one.
