They put the 90's in for filter access. B vent in the attic? One other thought... everything looks a little cramped in there, is there enough combustion air?
BTW, I like the duck.

Slaps head and says, "Oh what a dummy am I!" 
I actually showed the client how to change the filter and it never occurred to me that was why the 90's were there.
It's been a long day.
Couldn't get access to the attic in that section so I don't know if it's a B-Vent.
I measured the room and there is enough combustion air. This is a 75 year lake house with a view of the lake to die for, but I don't think the clients wanted to go that far.

If that's the filter, then that's a return register just above a water heater draft hood, no? That would be a no, no.
I have a seminar booklet that states "One 90 degree offset is permitted when using the new vent tables." I need to do further research on that.
