What type of flex is this? That plastic wire supported junk?
Gas driers should have hard pipe or a type of flex pipe with very little restriction.(designed for gas application)
A friend of mine had a drier vented with flex and was complaining on how long it took to dry clothes. I had some hard pipe left over and re ran his venting in it. It is amazing how restrictive that cheap flex is. The air is so turbulated before it leaves the tubing that the lint gets dizzy and needs to stop and rest for a while.
If you are assembling hard pipe for a drier use good quality foil tape to assemble the joints.
Find another route out or simplify the run. Use hard pipe instead of flex.
Gas driers will push out products of combustion into the home so make sure it is well vented, low restriction and tight.
