Having trouble mounting a 2 stroke onto this frame

Do you happen to know any offset intakes for 32mm that are good quality? I see a lot of mixed reviews on cheap ones saying that the welds are getting in the way inside the manifold itself or even that there are gaps between welds.
I just got the cheapest chineseBay long offset intake. I filed the bits of rough weld off (actually used a small grinding wheel on the cheapo dremel-ish tool) and made sure the mating surface was nice and flat.

(I cut a piece off the intake so I could fit my piece of 45° bend reinforced silicone tubing. I also turned mine upside down to offset to the left side, as I was concerned about catching the choke lever with my trouser leg. I wrapped a little PTFE tape around the end so it just slightly went over the edge and made a good seal with the carb.)

But yeah, the cheapest offset intake is working absolutely fine for me so far (one test ride last week, next one tomorrow!). :)
