Is it wise to use metallic tubing as the exhaust (4 inch diamter)
conduit for a Panasonic model FV-08VQL3 ?

Would metal tubing be prone to producing more noise than a
plastic-covered ring tubing ?

If you're referring to MET tubing,you're way over the top. Just use 4 inch
steel duct or even flex duct

Is that 4 inch steel duct found at Home Depot ?
The term "MET" is not part of my volcabulary.

I hit the spell check and it changed EMT to MET, which is electrical
metallic tubing. Which is much heavier than you'd want for duct. Depot sells
standard steel 4 inch duct in three or four foot lengths, they also sell a
pretty nice smooth interior flex duct. I've seen plastic dryer duct used,
and as you indicated, condensation filled low, sagging areas with water
