Default RSD clarity line durability?

Anyone have any experience with the RSD clarity line, I am wondering about the quality and durability, I assume over time the polycarbonate will discolor?

No info for you about the clarity line. But I did put on a RSD domino air cleaner a few months ago and its been at least 2000 miles without a single drop of oil leaking out.

Not sure how frequently that would happen, but RSD does now offer repair kits for the poly

I have the timing cover and derby cover both are good and have about 1k on them. Only thing I will say is there is some tiny spider webing happening around the tiny hex heads (on timing cover only) that hold the poly on. They did however send me new poly but I have not replaced it yet. No leaking or anything that major just minor cosmetic.

Thanks everyone, I did notice they had that repair kit that's one of the reasons I was skeptical, but if I am going to have to be replacing that every couple years it's not worth it to me.
