Looking for a brush system that will make 90 degree turns in the pipe. I have a lint/dryer brush with a flexible rod, but it will not make the 90. I've tried twisting it and even hooked it to a portable drill.
 
i have the lint-eater (as do many others here) makes the 90 degree turn no problem.
i only have one 90 degree elbow.
i think if you're trying to go through two elbows you might want to clean from both ends of the vent so you only have to do one elbow at a time.
but i've never tried two so that's just a guess.

it's made to fit in a drill too.

X2 on the lint eater brush here. I find that a little pressure while spinning the brush and it goes right by the 90 deg. elbow.
Just remember to only go forward with the drill never backwards or you will spin of the brush inside the pipe.
