driving improvement or luck.
a stock SVT should run mid/high 15s with a skilled driver.
if you switched to a 2.25" exhaust like you say, you should not have lost any power over the Stock exhaust but gain a nice tone. most SVT Specific exhausts are 2.5" which is where the power loss comes into play.
your times are too inconsistant to be used as a gauge for gains from mods. like i said before, if you were running near identical ETs and traps on every pass then you MAY see gains from mods but even so, with how much power the focus or SVT gains off of simple bolt-ons, you probably would not notice much of a difference..... maybe a couple 1/10ths if you are lucky.
