I'm sure they're talking about a U-joint coupler, that's everybody's answer.
Although it's a bit smaller, it's not drastically so. About 1 5/8" diameter for a Borgeson u-joint vs 2" for the stock coupler, which gives you 3/16 extra clearance on each side. Plus, you have to cut and drill your steering column shaft for a u-joint; it's not a bolt-on fix.
You probably just need to dimple the header tube. Don't be afraid, people do it all the time for column clearance, and steering linkage/torsion bar clearance. Consider yourself lucky if you only have to dent the one place.
