I think the OEM mufflers sound pretty nice. Not too loud, not too quiet. After a full day's ride, I would not want anything louder that's for sure. I think you will be happy with OEM. I have some loud ones my bike came with - can't seem to hardly give them away.

You say the bike came with those SE IIs. Do they have baffles in them or maybe the previous owned yanked them out?

Looks like the baffles are in them, I had a Kaw 900 that the previous owner pulled the baffles out of a set of Cobras, they were loud.
