Abstract

Systems are provided for an integrated exhaust manifold that may be used in a variety of engine systems. In one example, an integrated exhaust manifold may include a central axis running from an inlet end to an outlet end of the integrated exhaust manifold and two exhaust outlets arranged at the outlet end and coupled to a common collecting line, the two exhaust outlets symmetrically positioned across the central axis and having a same diameter, where each exhaust outlet of the two exhaust outlets has a passage axis arranged parallel to the central axis. A first exhaust outlet of the two exhaust outlets may be permanently blocked and a second exhaust outlet of the two exhaust outlets may be coupled to an exhaust system of an engine system.
