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?
 
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?

Don't think you'll do better than this for clearance.
 
Finally got round to ordering the matetials that i will need for the job and have settled on the one below. Could anyone please let me know if the two are compatable and if thres any other potencial issues i might ahve with them.
