unless u go huge the servo wont be a problem. i had a 2.25in system in mine and was fine. i had more off an issue with the alternator hitting the servo

[andytechno]

oh right so how did u get over that one jase.

went to the local breakers and got an alternator bracket off a late sierra with power steering. now this bracket puts the altnator low with the pump above it on the same bracket. so cut off what metal i didnt want and bolted it up. an rs ally bracket should do it but modern alternators are quite a bit bigger than those used on the orignol rs's. tho try finding a pinto sierra in the breakers

It's not really the exhaust that causes the problem with the servo, it's the exhaust manifold.

 

A standard 4 branch will be fine but if you go up to the 3 piece 2.25" or 2.5" manifold that's when you introduce complications of fouling on things and not only the servo either.
