Mike,
I didn't need to loosen the trans mount. I did, however, make the modification to both the right and the left sides (one side at a time of course). I contemplated only doing the drivers side but I decided to do both since I was getting rub marks on the bottom of the passenger's side too. I agree with Bob that the right side is mostly compression force but I think the torque is not perfectly perpendicular to the motor mount. It's hard to explain but I think that might cause some "sliding" forces so to speak too thus causing the wear on the bottom of my right side pipes.
On the bright side, the modifications only took me about 2 hours and that included two trips to the hardware store.
