Abstract
The present invention relates to an exhaust system component () for an exhaust system of a combustion engine, in particular of a motor vehicle, with a housing () having at least one housing wall (), which separates an interior space () of the housing () exposed to an internal pressure (Pi) during the operation of the exhaust system from a surroundings () surrounding the housing () and having an ambient pressure (Pu). In order to improve the durability of the component () even with small wall thicknesses, at least one stiffening element () can be provided, which is fastened to and arranged on the housing () such that it counteracts an internal pressure (Pi) that is above the ambient pressure (Pu) induced by the deformation of the housing wall ().
