They look like nice quailty and you'll find them surpriisinly usful on other jobs, they should also last a lifetime if they're that expensive.
That nut is a total ball ache with a stock down pipe, I refused to be defeated when I first removed one from a 3B and made a short spanner with a load of material ground out of the neck so I could heat it up and bend it. You just need a cheap spanner you don't mind attacking with a grinder and MAP gas.
The nuts aren't normally tight, so I put two other's back on to hold the down pipe up whilst I got that one off.
Though before you ruin a good 17mm spanner check the size of the nut using a socket, I've found 15, 16 and 17mm nuts in that location depending on who's been in there before.1989 B3 2.0 3A 80 quattro... Budget 1.8T Project.

I had this problem many years ago, I ended up using cheap spanner’s and chopped them with grinder and a welder I cut the spanner in half and used some 12mm exaust hanger bar one at 90 open end and the closed end bent like moon spanner. Also I used some penetrating fluid all best Michael
