as I recall an elbow is 5' equivalent length, so 2 el's + 8' of pipe = 18'.

Most dryers are rated for 30'+

Don't use plastic (coil wire) flex hose, if you need flex keep it short and use the metal stuff that has the smoother wall.

Edit: also don't screw the metal duct together, use metal tape. Screws catch lint.
