P trap and tailpiece too close!
I replaced a bathroom vanity sink. All went well until I tried to attach the p trap. The tailpiece for the new sink is about 1" too close. I have looked at the PVC flexible traps but that is still too close. Is there a way to do this without cutting anything?
Thank you for your help!

The height seems ok. It's that the tailpiece seems offcenter. It is about 1" closer to the wall than the old sink. Will shortening it make the p trap fit between it and the pipe coming out of the wall?
No it will not but if you have a tubular ext. P trap bring it out past the tail piece and connect it their
it doe's not have to always go straight back to the wall

You could move the vanity a little to the right or left to allow the trap to line up.
