I am looking to replace my current toilet with a back to wall one, one issue that i have is that the soil pipe would end up being under it. Would it be a bad idea to fit a Slinky-Fit Flexible Pan Connector from the toilet into the soil pipe that is directly under the toilet?
Welcome to the forum. Although you can post in any forum, the USA forum is here in case of local regs or laws
A picture would be good.
A back to wall pan needs boxed in space behind for concealed cistern, do you mean close-coupled?
Flexible pan connectors should be avoided if possible.

Some close coupled back to wall pans have the pan spigot deep inside so that the connection is, say, 10 “ back from the wall. Others have the spigot only , say 4” back.
If you had one with a deep spigot it may be a goer, I would not use a “slinky” if I were you.
If you have space. Build/tile a simple box to bring the toilet away from the wall allowing easy connection with no tight radii, also gives a useful shelf behind loo.

This is how it's looking at the moment. I will be removing the plaster board that is there and fitting a concealed cistern onto the wall and putting a new plasterboard with tiles in front it it. I would like to push the back to wall toilet back to also cover the soil exit that's currently visible. What is the reason for not using a slinky for this? Should i just use normal soil pipes instead?
