If that's the case then adding two metal pipes in between just doubles your number of hoses and clamps.
Think about it.
You've just made your system more complex.
More complex usually means more prone to failure.
I have never seen the stock 90-degree elbows fail, rip, tear, etc.
Those things are reinforced.
The clamps will fail before the hose will.
