Yeah in this case the rigid metal pipe from the dryer goes directly into the wall and meets the exterior vent

I know, but it’s easier to make the connection in the room, rather than pushing rigid duct from the dryer through the wall and knowing what length it’s needs to be to get the dryer vent to sit flush on the wall.

Yeah but then it sounds like I need to do away with the existing rigid pipe and do the whole thing? Opposed to just attached a vent where the old one was? I’m kind of okay with the rigid metal pipe as it actually would keep rodents from chewing through it and getting into my garage, even with the current broken vent.
