I need to extend my furnace vent pipe up 2 foot above the ridge of my roof to comply with IBC. So I need to couple this pipe somehow and extend it up. Any idea what type of pipe this is and how I would extend it?

    My first thought is asbestos

    Definitely looks like asbestos. It's a fiber, not metal or plastic, and the only fiber that I am aware of that could possibly be used for a furnace vent would be asbestos. You might want to consider replacing the entire thing.
