question OTTP rotated mounts

Just got my Stage 2 Rotated Mounts from OTTP. I installed the front mount in like 15mins (easy) although the rear one looks abit harder and recommend taking the downpipe off. Is it possible to run just the front mount and not the rear? Reason why i ask is in about 2 weeks my header/dp/exhaust are coming and i dont want to take the stock dp off, put the mount in then put the dp back on if im gonna have to take the dp off again?

I'm heading to the track on saturday and want abit of extra traction so thats why i put the front mount in...so once again. Will it hurt the car if i just run with the front mount for the time being?

Support motor! loosen off slightly the top mount bolts to trans, passenger side and drivers side at the top; Install lower mounts, install rear mount first, insert keyhole spacer if stage 1. Hand tighten all bolts. Then install front mount(one spacer each side . when the mounts are all installed and bolted up hand tight not torqued, then torque them: tighten rear mount to cradle 3 bolts 44 f tlbs; then rear cross bolt first; 74 ft lbs. then front mount to transaxle bolts 66 ft lbs.then front cross bolt74 ft lbs then re tighten the top mounts Tighten the transmission mount to transmission at the top, 37 ft lbs If inserting rack spacers, the steering rack bolts are 81 ft lbs.

it may distort the bushing and you will not realise the gains you wish. The rear mount will accept the distortion for a short period of time. The rear mount is as easy as the front do it right etc
