That's b-vent, and it's expensive stuff. What Rick's referring to is a concentric, which allows combustible air in while venting exhaust on a 90%+ furnace. It's probably required that you add fresh air so the inside pressure of your home remain neutral.
 
We be got a pellet stove. Don’t it a ton but enjoy using it when it gets cold here. It burns very efficiently. Very little ash to deal with.

Commonly referred to as "make up air".

Yes it does. I think I need a kit like this (I just ordered this too because it's on sale) :

That kit looks like it'll cover most install situations, you may have some left over, No screws allowed in the pipe by code, I used very short 5/16" self tapping screws into the outer pipe But by code you shouldn't use anything and No cutting of pipe to length, another code thing

B Vent inner tubes snap seal and the screws the secure the outer pipe cannot penetrate the inner tubes. I dealt with that a lot in New England when installing through the wall and ceiling furnace venting. Towards the end of my construction career, 2" PVC pipe venting for furnaces was becoming more commonplace.

Here the inspectors wont allow outer pipe screws, I don't know if their interpretation of the code wrong or if it's a local thing? should be going by National though, Heck I even used UL Silver tape on the outside of mine inside the house, that's a No No too lol

When I was installing, mechanical fastening was required, but they also wanted the aluminum tape as well to prevent any fumes in the event the inner tubes didn't seal all the way.

I just added a pic of mine, IMO it's correct but around here I'd get a Correction Notice or Red Tag depending on what inspector
 
New front rotors and rear pads came via Amazon

I bought a "barn-find" 70 SS396 convertible yesterday. L34/M40 car. Really solid Texas body, but total basket case. No original drivetrain, but has a really nice clear build-sheet.

That's all the information I am willing to divulge until it's home in my garage...
 
Some of those fittings are over $50 each. They make a sliding adjustable length hunk of pipe if you need it, and most apps use at least one unless you're going straight up. There are lots of restrictions and the flu termination outside needs to be a certain distance from obstructions both vertically and horizontally. A quick search will get you there.
