Carbs can be canted slightly without affecting fueling. Go far enough at an angle and the float height needs to be adjusted to correct the fuel level, or it will have strange fueling issues due to the float hanging up. Vertical is obviously ideal.
You could attempt to heat and bend the fuel pipe on the carb in. Even if it gets kinked slightly it shouldn't affect it at all. The inlet is relatively huge compared to the orifice on the needle seat for the float.
As for the clone expansion chamber being loud. Yep! It's basically a resonance chamber with no baffles or other sound reducing devices. I have seen guys cut off a stock muffler and put it on the end. There are also very affordable mufflers a lot of guys use that can be cut down to size very easily if needed or desired.
