Hi guys. been driving my camry since april but anyways, I've seemed to have this problem for a while now (basically since I've been driving it) and I've finally taken the time to take a closer look at it.

Any time in day, hot, cold, morning, night, afternoon, the car spits out some heavy exhaust when the engine starts. I've assumed it might be a problem with my intake but I am just not sure what the problem is. It only occurs when the engine is started and there is enough exhaust to be considered a problem.

What do you guys suggest?
