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.

The internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least two cylinders are arranged in a line along a longitudinal axis of the at least one cylinder head. 3. The internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 2, wherein the exhaust lines of the at least two cylinders open into a common collecting line of the integrated exhaust manifold. 4. The internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 3, wherein the exhaust lines open separately from one another on a cylinder-specific basis into the common collecting line of the integrated exhaust manifold. 5. The internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 3, wherein the common collecting line is oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the at least one cylinder head. 6. The internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 3, wherein the at least two exhaust extraction lines branch off from the common collecting line. 7. The internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least two exhaust extraction lines emerge from a common outer wall of the at least one cylinder head. 8. The internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein each exhaust extraction line emerges from the at least one cylinder head with formation of a flange. 9. The internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one exhaust extraction line is permanently closed off in an assembled state of the internal combustion engine and wherein the exhaust-gas discharge system is connected to a remaining one of the two exhaust extraction lines which is not permanently closed off. 10. The internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 9, wherein the one exhaust extraction line that is permanently closed off in the assembled state of the internal combustion engine is closed off by way of a plate-like element, the plate-like element being fastened to the at least one cylinder head. 11. The internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein each cylinder has at least two outlet openings and wherein the exhaust lines of the at least two outlet openings per cylinder merge to form a partial exhaust line associated with the cylinder, before said partial exhaust lines merge. 12. The internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one cylinder head is equipped with an integrated coolant jacket, wherein the at least one cylinder head can be connected at an assembly end side to a cylinder block, wherein the coolant jacket has a lower coolant jacket, which is arranged between the integrated exhaust manifold and the assembly end side of the at least one cylinder head, and an upper coolant jacket, which is arranged on that side of the integrated exhaust manifold which is situated opposite the lower coolant jacket. 13. The internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one turbine of an exhaust-gas turbocharger is arranged in the exhaust-gas discharge system and wherein at least one exhaust-gas aftertreatment system is arranged in the exhaust-gas discharge system. 14.
