Exhaust Repair Basic Question

My '69 with 350 came to me from the original owner in '96 with a custom 2" dual system with no cross-over. It has very long glass pack style mufflers and the pipe to muffler is welded. Exits out the side in front of the rear wheels.
OK, the driver's side muffler is all corroded out. If I cut this junk out then I will probably need to add pipe to make up the difference in length (this thing is huge, like 42"). How do you do that? If I get 2" pipe and some clamps it would seem lame to just butt the sections together and clamp. It would leak. There must be connectors that are slightly larger than 2"? The glass pack mufflers are 2" or are they slightly larger so that you can insert the pipe and clamp? I'm ordering online so I can't see. Anybody have suggestions? MUCH thanks from me and my neighbors. -BA
