Ive got a leak in the u-shaped main pipe with the flexible piece in the middle. The cost of a new one from Honda is nearly £600 with another £200 to fit it ! Anyone know of a reasonably priced alternative? The leak
is in the flexible or ribbed section.

Good chance to go for a header system.

Time for headers.
Sometimes you can find 02 + stock for sale on Prime for a good deal.
Check with Barry and see if he can sort you something out. To replace the OEM one you're half way to Comp-Tech headers.
Just do it.
By the way what kind of quad tips are those ? I like them better than the big round ones on my Comp-Tech exhaust.

Go to your local exhaust guy and he will fix it for £100.00 or less. All they need to do is weld a flexible piece in place and bingo!

I had the same problem recently. Plans ordered one from Dali (OEM Honda) and it came to about half what Honda UK wanted. With the strong £:$ getting stuff from the USA is pretty good value at the moment!

(as a side note, drove the NSX to work yesterday in the torrential rain. It felt utterly stable and safe even in those extreme conditions. I cannot imagine that I would have dared go much above 30mph in any other mid engined car!)
