Question Exhaust question

Does anybody know the diameter of the center pipe on C200/250/300? Is it 2.5"? I'm thinking about replacing one last remaining resonator with an aftermarket one like one of these
Amazon Amazon

My car has aftermarket mufflers, midpipe (deleted one resonator), and a 200 cell downpipe and tuned, but the exhaust sound is still not good. It's considerably better (louder, deeper) than the stock sound but am hoping that an aftermarket resonator would improve the sound for a few hundred bucks. My aftermarket mufflers are huge and that's probably the reason why it's still quieter than I would want it to be, but I don't wanna spend another $$$$ to get another mufflers/catback.

I could also get cold air intake and charge pipe but am not sure I like that whistling sound I often hear on YouTube videos....
