Default Different baffles for SE IIs??

Got the bike out today and took it for the first ride since I got it. I like the sound of the SEIIs I picked up from Anubisss, but they're not quite loud enough IMO. I seem to remember my pipes were louder. I was wondering if there are any aftermarket (louder) baffles that would fit in the SEIIs? Do I have to look at some other pipes or slip ons? I know I can remove the baffles, but I've also read that some backpressure is good for the engine.

I also noticed a fairly loud tapping (sounds like it's in the top end) when winding the gears out a bit. I read on the forum that tapping tends to happen sometimes when I bike has been converted to a larger bore. Hope it's not a sign of trouble!! Any opinions??

No opinion on the taping, but take a look at the Big City Thunder Monster Baffles.
