I'm installing a bathroom with shower in my basement. With the faucet pulled tight against the wall of the fiberglass shower unit, the pipe going to the shower head is not plumb. Between the faucet and the top of the pipe, it leans back (away from the shower wall) about 3/4".

I could leave it this way, which would cause the shower head pipe to be a little out of level, or I could cut the pipe and use a series of fittings to connect the lower out-of-plumb end with the upper end that would be held plumb. What would you do?
 
If the wall isnt covered up, I'd move the backing my drop ear ell is screwed to. If I couldnt do that, I'd offset it.

Go straight up. You are not likely to notice the slight angle of the shower arm. 3/4" on the 4' shower riser equals about 3/32" off level on a 6" shower arm.
