Causes poor performance and creates a perfect lint trap also keeps the dryer off the wall an additional seven inches. Had to have it fixed. Have seen other new ones installed the same way.

Here are some interesting perspectives on dryer venting:

The plastic flex pipe from the dryer to the start of the vent pipe is the easiest to use............but is also generally the least recommended type to use! And "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line" - you were wise to have that extra length of flex hose removed.
