both caps r 2 farads, the hiwave is $100, and the impulse is $137.50. Is it any difference between the two, worth the money atleast.

I havent heard of either brand. However, there are usually very minimal differences (if any) between most capacitor brands.

get the cap with LEAST RESISTANCE! if the resistance is .1 ohm or higher, then the cap will most likely do more bad than good. look into it...
