Default Catalyst or resonator?

Can anyone help on this please. I have a fubitsubo exhaust on my v3 wrx type ra and I thought the center pipe was the standard oem one?
I have measured the backbox and it's 3inch,also measured the center pipe at 3inch. Is the picture(soz for poor quality) a resonator or a sports cat?
Cheers Rich

Sorry bare with me on this one lol I'm trying to get my head round it.
This is my zorst from rear to downpipe(again excuse poor quality)

Rear muffler

Into a 2nd pipe which looks like resonator


Then into the mid pipe


I thought Impreza standard pipe work was 2.5 inch?
All my pipes measure 3inch.
So my question is,will a 2.5inch mid pipe fit this system?

Cheers pal
I was just about to buy a 2.5" de-cat mid section from a member,at a great price btw. I guess i will have to keep an eye out for a 3" if i want to de-cat.
Thanks for clearing things up BrownPantsRacing
