Move Tub Drain

[mbauer]

This ptrap is welded right into the vent stack with no room to put a new one in. Can I move this drain tube over to the 11" mark and use two 45 degree angles to lead into the existing drain before the trap? There is about 12" of pipe down to the trap from the floor level. I ask because I'm under the impression that the drain pipe has to go straight down into the trap.

Thanks!
