IMO it bad design especially in 2x4 wall. 4x6 wall can get 4” pipe which will work much better. The pipe not big enough to work efficiently, moisture for drying process causes lint to stick to sides and any low volume areas.

it’s oval shaped but still not enough volume to over come gravity. It will plug up sooner than any other design due to particles being lifted straight up and moisture in the air. Even if put boost fan in the system IMO it will also eventually get clogged same way the dryer boost fan gets clogged. Yes, it will help, but IMO now way getting around clean out depending on use.
