Default huh wth, Help guys.

this one is weird first time it happens and never heard anyone with this problem. ask away.
k this morning i started the car let it warm up all good, i see i need gas light is on so drive to the ammoco, fill the tank half way with the best gas "ultimate or super" then drive away. about 1min after i drive away from gas station my car is smoking, all i see is lots of smoke more than usual in this cold clean smoke. now the thing i dont get is. Why does my car sound like i have a miffler which i dont, all i have is an intake AND, it sounds manual when my car is automatic. i know i have like a year with the same intake and filter a goood filter but why the smoke, it wasnt smoking when i left the garage or sounding the way it does. the car i keep it maintain goood. oil is not do until 1k more miles and last time i did oil change was like less than 3 months for sure and transm fluid was change with last oil change. my car has the stock muffler which is one but comes out 2. lately the muffler sound like a little lose, i used to hear a sound like a vibration sound from the muffler. is really cold righ now i make sure anti-freeze is good and all that stuff is all good. here is my car, 96 accord exl. if it wasnt for the smoke i would really love the way my car sounds now lol btw when i said it sounds like manual by that i mean, i can hear the car shift when i put it in reverse or D4 or any gear. thanks for your help hopefully no big problem

Sounds like a good start. Have you used any fuel injector cleaner before? Maybe you got some bad gas. It happens sometimes.
