Would not use "any old flexible tube or funkiness", but would use a Fernco flexible repair elbow and possibly a connector sleeve. They are rubber -designed for plumbing repair(the right size)and available at Home Depot or any good plumbing supply. They use worm drive clamps to seal.

Usually have to cut back at least one side before/after the elbow to get length/alignment correct. Also, usually don't connect two flexible repair pieces together without at least a short section of pipe between them. Flexible elbows can collapse or kink under stress, too. So they must be supported.
