If you want to do this efficiently you are going to have to do it
in the kernel, and no, I don't know of any existing option like that :-)
The magic routine that fiddles the TTL is ip_decrease_ttl in <net/ip.h>,
which is expanded inline into ip_forward (net/ipv4/ip_forward.c).
Notice that it needs to update the IP checksum.
