 \\;You don't need channel locks, pliers hammers or anything other than Carb cleaner and a piece of wood. But I understand some people like doing things the hard way. \\;
I have attached a picture of the inside of the baffle I removed. \\;\\\\\\; There is a little lip about a half inch in, where the main part of the baffle is attached to the flare or bell that seals against the ID of the slip on.

Maybe they don't all have this do to manufacturing variences, and I was just lucky

Worked like a charm (well at least one baffle). The second baffle didnt have much of a lip so I need strong vise grips. Anyway, when I got the first one out I saw that the previous owner of the pipes already drilled out the holes. I just made them larger. I notice a slight improvement in sound. When I do the second baffle I think I'll get the sound I am looking for.

Thanks for the photos and help.

I guess I drilled all the holes to about 1/4 inch. I must say that I hardly notice a change. My baffles already had a mod done to them. A 1.5 square section was cut from each baffle. My SE II's were a little louder then most. The larger holes likely didnt change a thing.
