I would add one more if the Yaris does not already have one...
Use an actual braided ground strap (not Audio cable) and ground the exhaust to the trans or chasis. Many cars come with OEM exhaust ground straps

Does anyone know if by grounding these wires, it voids the warranty?

No, it's stupid if they tell you that your warranty is voided.

Just bought the same grounding kit as ItsMyDaily for $25.00 shipped. I had some bucks in the PayPal account, what the hay. I will let y'all know what the results are after I install it. I'll see if I can get my brothers ohmmeter and check resistance to all grounding points before I install it.

Intakes, exhaust, filters, etc can't void any warranty except to the product it replaced or if it has a direct affect. For instace a failed MAFS due to an over oiled gauze style air filter can void the cost of repair or replacement for the MAFS, but can not void the warranty of the car should the timming chain snap or you have an electrical failure. Just as welding on a open muffler will only void the exhaust system not the rest of the car. Should you have an electrical problem though I would spend 10 minutes and remove the ground kit just to elimintae any finger pointing.

great DIY writeup, you might also want to try this to help keep all that cabling tidy, unsing plain old zipties:
Just loop one long one around all cables, then use more as spacers between the cables.

ItsMyDaily - How long did you wait for your kit after winning it on eBay? It's been just over a week with no package. They also wont answer my emails! All I want is a tracking number...

I must have sent at least 5 messages to the seller just for a tracking #. To make things even better, the tracking # is not valid at this time, because only the billing info has been transmitted. There hasn't been a physical scan on the package, meaning UPS doesn't have record of it at all! So now I'm stuck waiting for yet another response, after a dozen or so messages inquiring about where my package is..
