Friend of mine wants to replace his pellet stove. The new pellet stoves exhaust is about 10" higher then the old one. Can he still connect the new one and angle it down to meet the old pipe connection? There is still about 3 feet vertical pipe rise outside. Also the T is on the outside.
Basic installation question

If he does that he is asking for trouble (and his install is not in conformance with the manufacturers installation instructions) a vent is supposed to always be rising hence the need for at least a 1/4" per foot rise in "horizontal" runs.
If he does the 3 ft rise inside the house, then he can buy one adjustable length piece and never worry about what stove he gets next.
The top hole will always be the same, just raise or lower the adjustable piece, to the new stove.

Yes... But if he does the rise inside. He will never need to punch another hole after that. No matter how many stoves he goes through.
I made the mistake of shooting straight outside when I installed my Quadrafire. That was before I found this place. My Fahrenheit and my 25-PDV have 5 ft of vert inside. Both installed after finding Hearth.com.
