Clay,

The first section of vent pipe is a 90 degree elbow that has been straightened out.

Right there on the inlet to the right opposite the flue. Where the break in the insulation is.

The draft hood has a tapered end for a reason, right. That is so you can shove that sucker right down snug and screw it togeather. Neither of which they got right.

Needs a single-wall to b-vent adapter at the draft hood I do believe.

I can't see a problem based on this photo. So long as the inner liner of the flue sits properly on the diverter, it looks OK to me.
