I would just get a custom made exhaust, there really isnt anything off the shelf for the T5's unless you want to spend a fortune for a brand. You can make ST exhaust systems for with some effort but its your decision really. I dont have any recommendation on cats really nor exhaust systems. I have had a powerflow / jetex system which was a 2.5" system which was nice but still pretty quiet ... then I went for a straight through custom system and I cannot explain how loud these things can get ... but now just run 2 small mufflers at the back but my current custom system was not done to the best standard really so I am going to be hunting for a new one soon. My only suggestion is to just find a decent exhaust fabricator, long track record and good work. If it costs, its probably worth it. Your only questions really are, you want some noise with as little drone as possible as its only really drone that is your enemy here.

Why not just buy a V60 Polestar ? 150 bhp more than an ST , sounds better , much quicker and all the advantages of being an estate .

Fair comment , they are expensive to buy and are a bit pricey on parts . Especially , if like me you have the later 2ltr turbo & supercharged model with Brembo floating discs (£1200 a pair ) and ohlins suspension (£ don't even ask). I wish you well with your plan and hope it's a success .
