If I ad a 2" barrel extension to a Keltec sub 2000 will it be legal for me to conceal carry unloaded aka unchambered as an 18 yr old, or will it need to be permanently attached in some way?

If it has a 16” barrel it is a long gun.
the sub 2000 is already a rifle.
Correct. I would like to make it legally a Long Gun. 18"+ barrel so it is legal to carry.

I love the suspicious quotes in the ATF bull**** language.
In this case, my assumption would be that, just like a pistol and adding a stock, you'd need to meet the measurements by permanently attaching (pin and weld) the extension.
There is a great linear compensator I've used on the sub2k from kaw valley. Although I'd not pin and weld it to appease the ATF. It's just barely over 2" and will meet the requirements just have to find someone to pin and weld it.

The KVP linear comp, collects and redirects muzzle gases away from the shooter. By pushing excessive noise and concussion downrange, not only will the shooter experience a much softer shooting experience, bystanders will also benefit from the redirection of the muzzle gasses.
