Absolutely NOT!
ohh boy, I'll try and make it quick.
LT headers flow well because of the length of the Primary tubes. (each exhaust tube) It scavenges the gases away from the cylinder head for cooler combustion and more efficient flow. The merge collector at the bottom plays another big role. The longer the collector the better the flow. Dynatches have very short collectors while Kooks and TTI are very long.
Stock manifolds all flow into one pipe right away. Not good for flow.
Shorty headers and replacing the y-pipe is prob the sheapest and most effecitve gains you will see. However, going that distance, your better off going LT as Shorties are a direct interchange for the stock manifolds making it easy for people to keep everything else stock.
Go LT's or go home! That's my motto.
