Default Exhaust Change next week

I am going from hooker side pipes to true dual with hooker shorty headers, 2.5 inch tubing, and dynomax super turbos. I have a small block with the stock 350 hp cam, and a edelbrock performer intake and carb. I was wondering if you guys think the new exhaust might hurt performance. I have a set of longtubes, but I am worried about leaks and starting problems. And I plan on installing new heads and cam in about six months if that means anything.

thanks all

are you thinking that the new set up will be more restrictive then the side pipes and will then hurt performance? I think you will be ok and it may increase the perception of performance since it won't be so loud at any given speed...
