I have this on most of my pumps so they can have lower water level.

I would try with some long radius 90's but not the typical 90 elbow. The owners manual for these pumps has a big red X on a pump with a 90 on the intake side. Abyzz doesn't sell the 90 for the intake side like red dragon does. They obviously must not want it used on their pumps. The do sell a slotted 6" straight tube that fits on the intake.

Hmm ok. Is the slotted one only slotted on one side, so you can put the slots on the underside? that might help a bit. I'm not sure if that would give you as much space as you're looking for though.
