Default intake manifold?

anyone know where i can get shorter or custom angled intake manifolds for the Chinese frame mount engine kits? i would like to install the "80cc" motor kit on a Next avalon bike from walmart and the intake manifold is not allowing me to install the carb. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem on build, I had a peice of 1/8th steel with a 5/8 hole drilled in it then toke some .065 tubing and bent it at a 45deg angle. Next I had a friend weld the two together. Now my carb comes off the left side of the bike and it is soild. I can take picture later if you need a visual?
