Here's a Magnaflow X-Pipe 2-1/2" Fox Body exhaust for ya:
Not cheap but it is stainless and very nicely done up. This does come with both cats, too.

I have a 2-1/2" H-Pipe system on my '67 Coupe with 1990 5.0 roller motor. It sounds very throaty and is only boomy at higher rpm. I do want to put an AOD in it or maybe even a 4RW70 with stand-alone electronic controller. Been thinking about 3.55's to go with the overdrive transmission, for relaxed highway cruising and keeping the rpm down around 1800 or less. It'll have a real good hole-shot then!
My '67 had an even taller gear ratio than yours when I got it, a 2:48 Ford 9" out of a Lincoln Versaiiles. I replaced the "punkin" and got 3.00 gears which are definitely better for acceleration, but they do run about 2600-2700 at 60+ and then the Magnaflows get a bit intrusive.
Sounds like 3.73's might do the trick for you. If you find those gears don't have enough 'dig' for you, you could go with a shorter tire in the back to adjust. Conversely, if you were to get the 4.10 gears, and they were too much for you, go with a slightly taller tire.
Hope that helps and Good Luck with the build........ed
