JBA makes some really good stuff (and sounds mean too). I dont have it on my 68 (yet) but I do have their catback on my 95 5.0 GT. PM me if you'd like some links to videos.
I would definatly go with long tube headers, either hooker supercomps or headman elites. no x or h pipe and either 1 chamber flowmasters if the cam has less than .550" lift and spintechs if the cam is between .555" lift and .600" lift. if the cam is bigger than .600" lift then any muffler will rock your sox off.

Headers, Flow 40's and dumps right out of the mufflers! 
Oh, wait a minute; that's the consensus from the peanut gallery on f150online.com
Personally; I'm looking to outfit Larry with a Magnaflow 3" cat-back Sido system; let him breathe a little better without blowing what little torque there is out the exhaust tip. A guy here locally has that system on his F-250 Super Duty (5.4 SOHC wase the "base" motor that year) and it sounds really good. Not loud; more like there's a "restrained" beast in there. It sorta says, "Speak softly and carry a BIG stick."
EDIT: Now if I could just find a system like that (even in 2-1/2" duals) for the Cougar.... maybe order up one with an extra 6" on the headpipe(s) to cover the extra length......

On my old 5.0, I ran long tubes into a ProChamber (looks like a flowmaster) out to straight pipes out the back. I also had a .512 lift cam too.

Just go to mustangexhaust.com and listen to diff set-ups. A really mean one is the 5.0 with LT's, Dr.Gas X, and Spin Techs. MEAN!!!!!

Mine is over .650 lift and magnaflow killed the sound of the engine. Hated them. lol Sounded mean at WOT though, but I wanted something more aggressive at idle too.

Ya I dunno, it actually sounded better to me when I had my blower setup and smaller cam on it. The big cam and those mufflers just sucked. The spin techs sound flat nasty though. They do however have a part throttle pop that I dont entirely like, but I'm thinking the 2 1/2 inch piping might be causing some of that. WOT throttle on them is just music to my ears. heh
