those are the exact ones I purchased. The red ones are the same also. I do not think the wire size has changed for the red one's. I think it only looks smaller because of the distance they took the pic from. Either one would work.

Nice result.

It seems to be very simple, just wires and connectors, i think i can buy the wires, cunnectors a plate and build my own grounding kit... will this work?

Ofcourse you can. As vodkalush said, you can make it a lot more simplier.

vodkalush · 10-23-2006, 04:04 PM

You can make your own. Its even simplier to put together then the bought ones. All you do is daisy chain each connection point (alot less wires). The hardest part of the whole process is putting the heat shrink on

If any of you are trying to be ultra-thrifty this website has a kit you can buy piece by piece for a pretty good price.

Thankx, and your welcome.

I still have one more update to make to the thread. That would be the install of the final wire from the tranny to the block, so......still a couple new photos to come. Should get that done sometime this coming week end.

ItsMyDaily · 10-23-2006, 08:23 PM

disregard my post prior to this one guys. I couldn't resist and had some free time, so I went ahead and connected the last ground wire. I updated the DYI with the final wire at the end. Now it's a complete install.

Sorry vodkalush, I know this doesn't make your yarisworld manuel easier.

Didn't realize I was writing DYI, thankx for correcting me.

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

Yaris-TJ · 10-24-2006, 11:07 AM

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

If they say that then they are really trying to get out of covering under warrenty. Report it to toyota directly.

NO

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.
