i was told if i replaced my non vented opti than i would need to get a new cap and rotor. but doesnt the cap and rotor wear out faster than the opti itself?

A new opti comes fully assembled with a new cap and rotor. Not sure I understand the question.

You can actually buy the two separate pieces, but most are sold together. If you only bought the opti, and not the whole thing, I would get an MSD cap and rotor. You're already in there, why not.
