Default exhaust failing

I have a 1976 with blackjack headers . When I had the dual exhaust put on years ago , they were set up wrong and I couldn't put my spare tire carrier on . With out get crazy with money whats the best way to go . I want a 2 1/2 inch system and would like it to sound like it did with the old thrust mufflers . Is there a bolt on system I can do my self?

Magnaflow makes a nice bolt on stainless system for your car, but, will take some customization to connect to your headers (almost all systems will take some tweaking for headers).
