lifter galley crossover tube with air gap intake?

i have an eddy air gap and i didnt realize that they sit down so far in the lifter valley. the problem is i already have a braided stainless lifter galley crossover tube installed and it hits the bottom of the intake. is there such a thing as an easy fix? id rather not cut up a new intake and weld it all back together hoping it didnt warp. im guessing someone out there has run this intake with a crossover, how did you get it to work? any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
