Stainless is weaker, and even so, there are very few alloys of "stainless steel" that are actually corrosion resistant when exposed to 1500F+. Silicone won't last one heat cycle.
The best you can get (ARP) are on par with grade 8, where grade 10 is specified for all those studs.
Use good high temp anti-seize on the threads, and ceramic exhaust paste on the joints.
