+1.
I took a heat gun and just kept pressing/rolling one section of the funnel against a butcher's block while applying heat. It flattens it out just enough to create clearance. i also added some foam tape just in case it touches the clam. Works great and that way you can avoid adding any kind of angle on the air intake.
