To simplify the expression \(2 + 8a + 8a - 3a\), we can first combine the like terms (the terms that include \(a\)):

1. Combine \(8a + 8a\):
\[
8a + 8a = 16a
\]

2. Now, include the \(-3a\):
\[
16a - 3a = 13a
\]

3. Now, putting it all together, we can write the simplified expression:
\[
2 + 13a
\]

So, the final simplified expression is:
\[
\boxed{2 + 13a}
\]
