Hi all - I just replaced a bathroom vanity in my basement. Attached is a picture of what it looked like prior to my work. When I opened it, the adjustable white portion of the plumbing was filled with really toxic black goop that I cleaned out. I'm guessing the jagged walls of the pipe are contributing to this issue. After installing the new vanity, it looks a lot like this, though I had to compress a segment or two to properly line up the plumbing. Should I try to replumb this? I'm not a plumber. Pros and cons? thanks!

If that is an AAV, I don't believe it is positioned correctly, and not needed if plumbed correctly.
Get rid of that corrugated tailpiece extension. And as havasu said, if it was initially plumbed correctly with a vent in the wall, that AAV is not required. If it wasn't, the AAV will need to be left in place.
I'm assuming this is a 1 1/4" sink and P-trap. Get a 1 1/4" P-trap and a 1 1/4" tailpiece extension like these.
Remove the corrugated extension and all the P-trap parts. You will be able to adjust the new P-trap trap arm such that the P-trap entry point is directly below the sink drain line. The tailpiece extension and the trap arm can be cut as required to fit your specific geometry. Be sure to leave as much length as possible so that the slip joints won't be pulled out. Here's a few pictures to help you.
The P-trap can be rotated around the vertical center of the sink drain as required to fit your geometry. All joints should be strainght and in line with the mating parts.
