ES300 Exhaust!
Hello & good afternoon folks I have in possession a 2001 ES300 & currently the present problem is when the vehicle is started up in the morning I notice a vapor coming from the exhaust when my palm is in front of the pipe obviously not close enough to burn my palm.. Any ideas or perhaps suggestions that would pertain to answering my situation? Thanks very much for your patronage!

Well, if it is just water vapor, it is normal.
Water condenses inside your exhaust over night (or over a period of time).
Also, unburnt fuel gets converted, through the CAT, into water vapor and CO2.
Therefore, when you start the engine, water and water vapor come out of your exhaust until all vapor is out.
