There are thousands of factors that will impact speed it's probably impossible to tell.

What was your top speed with stock exhaust? Probably multiply that by 2,will be your new top speed!

If all your looking for is top speed, you probably bought the wrong bike.

Wind resistance increases exponentially with speed, so in answer to your question probably about 5-10 miles an hour higher top speed compared to stock.
It's a lot cheaper to increase top speed by reducing wind resistance rather than increasing horsepower.
