Default Am I outflowing my exhaust?

I think my major bottleneck in my setup is this horrible 2.5 inch TD setup that was on the car when I bought it. It has the worst looking H pipe looking thing, and I am convinced it is killing my ET's. Our last racing day up here is Labor Day so there's not really time to do anything other than take it off and replace it with about 24" of 3"straight pipe on each side. Anyone see any adverse effects?

Basic Mods:
237/243 .597 .613 cam
TEA 1.5 5.3's-untouched
LS6 intake
Ported TB
Coated Longtubes
200 wet shot
TH350 w/ PTC 9.5 inch nitrous stall

damn, I know quite a few people with similar setups like yours still running 3" Y pipes. they're not running 200 wet shots, DAYUM!!! Just buy an X pipe kit, dump it, and be done with it.

I've got a couple setups in mind for a permanent fix, but was looking for inputs on a short term. It takes forever to ship crap up here to Alaska, and I have that 3" tubing at the house.
