These neoprene or silicone tubes have an bugbear.
They are manufactured by extruding, a continous process, and after some cooling down these tubes are rolled on a drum. For this reason they got a permanent bend. I have never seen exactly straight tubes all of them had an curvature or pre-bending as memory effect.
Used as an driveshaft it will work properly as long as the two shaft ends are exact in line.
Pleas excuse my bad English

That manufacturing process is fine for fuel lines, but yes, the curve in the tubing can and does cause at least some vibration, if there is any misalignment of the two shafts.
Your English, is far better than my German !!
