I am installing a new shower and the drain extension needs to be about 2 feet to the right from its current location (closer to the corner)

Once I remove the PVC male adapter, everything I am left with is soldered brass and copper.

I only have 3.5 inches from the top of the subfloor to the copper drain connection in the above image. I searched for a low-profile elbow/shower drain that will give me clearance to be able to connect to the existing setup, but no luck as of yet. I dont like to work with large diameter copper, not sure my propane torch will get this hot enough to break. Any thoughts on how I can relocate the trap or direct the shower drain to the existing?

Call a plumber who does have the proper torch to take it apart AND relocate the trap to the new location.You do NOT want to leave the trap where it is and offset the drain to it.
