If you want Excedrin without the caffeine you can just take a 500mg of acetaminophen and 500 mg of aspirin.

Ibuprofen, like aspirin is a nsaid. So it should have similar effect when combined with acetomeniphin (Tylenol). In fact, acetomeniphin, ibuprofen is also commonly prescribed together. And some studies have shown it to be as or more effective than opiods like oxycodone for certain types of pain.

Well sure, but then you won't have an Excedrin equivalent.
