based on my understanding, Lexus dealer will never charge you less money than anywhere else.

One alternative is to have the pipe manufactured. Look up hoses-hydraulic. See if they can build the right end-fitting.

Lexus-Toyota parts is always an option. Call and find out. Labor is is where you can save by DIY or going to your trusted mechanic.
