Ya, if they're already on there, leave em...they won't hurt too much. LT's dissipate heat too much verses the stock manifolds. Wrap the exhaust though and you may not have much of a difference.

I would advise to take them off, especially with SLPs. I had SLPs on my car. The difference with stock manifolds vs the SLPs was big with the stock manifolds providing much faster spool.
