The pipe was just an off the shelf piece from a plumbing store, matched to the threads on the valve. The research I did said 90 degrees to the exhaust flow is optimal, but I put mine at 45 degrees for a clean install. I had the whole thing welded up and sent out for ceramic coating. The guy who welded it for me said he did the weld first, and then ran a drill bit down the pipe to open it up to the exhaust flow (rather than drilling the hole first, then trying to weld to it.
Here is an interesting thread describing the concept:
