Baffles create needed back pressure. I suggest you upgrade to Big City Thunder baffles for better sound from you SE II's.
I'm recommending BCT baffles above because the odds of finding a baffle for the SE II's, I assume, would be near impossible. I use the BCT baffles in MY SE II's and find them much nicer sounding than the stock SE II bafffels, and they are in no way obnoxious in the sound department.
Baffles are low tech and not brand specific to a particular exhaust … any of them will work. The sound & tone produced will vary depending on the length and design. Measure the diameter needed for your pipes, hunt for a set on EBay that you like and give them a try.

Be aware that if you decide to go the BCT route, call them to order your baffles. They will ask you to look at your mufflers and confirm that they have the SE II inscription on the exhaust - at least they asked that of me. Apparently they have had a problem with some folks ordering the wrong baffles, and I don't believe that they can be returned IIRC.
They were great to me over the phone and told be more about the dynamics of exhaust back pressure, reversion, etc., than I could ever retain.
