No more pic's one was enough just messing with your minds as it was mine when I first observed this from the far end of the attic it looked like it was inside of the duct plenum had to get a closer look. It was just resting on the top of the plenum had been abandoned from a previous wall furnace but was still exiting the roof.

This attic was full of insulation and very limited on head room could not see the ceiling joist had to balance on a pair of 2X12 on their side to get close enough to see what was actually going on. You big guys would not have made it

This was a death or more waiting to happen!! Any failure of the flue pipe here and CO gets distributed with heated air.

That is why I posted the pic, looks can be deceiving. Perhaps you should slow and smell the roses.
