Most aftermarket steering columns have 3/4" shafts (including ididit) so if you have 3/4" on both ends why would you need anything stronger in the middle?
And yeah, it helps the clearance. My intermediate shaft clears the exhaust header by about 1/4-inch.

You are saying what I was thinking, thank you. I was hoping 3/4 would be strong enough since its going to be just as strong as the rack's steering shaft. Also knowing you are ok with 1/4 inch gives me hope. I bought a piece of 1 inch wood dowel for mock up and it fits with a little space on each side so I will probably end up about 1/4 inch on each side too.
