1. An internal combustion engine exhaust system component comprising:
a component housing elongated in a direction of a housing axis, the component housing comprising a circumferential wall elongated in the direction of the housing axis and a first front wall fixed to one axial end area of the circumferential wall and a second front wall fixed to another axial end area of the circumferential wall, the component housing having an exhaust gas inlet and an exhaust gas outlet, the exhaust gas inlet comprising at least one inlet pipe connected to the first front wall of the component housing and the exhaust gas outlet comprising at least one outlet pipe connected to the second front wall of the component housing; and
a carrier assembly unit configured to connect the component to a carrier structure, wherein the carrier assembly unit comprises a carrier rod fixed to the circumferential wall of the component housing in at least two fastening areas located at spaced locations from one another along the carrier rod in the direction of the housing longitudinal axis, one of the fastening areas comprising a fastening element fixed to the carrier rod and fixed to the component housing at the one axial end area of the circumferential wall and another one of the fastening areas comprising another fastening element fixed to the carrier rod and fixed to the component housing at the other axial end area of the circumferential wall, the carrier rod having two carrier rod end areas, a carrier rod connection area configured to connect to the carrier structure being provided at each one of the two carrier rod end areas, an axial distance between the carrier rod connection areas provided at the carrier rod end areas being greater than an axial distance between the first and second front walls provided at the end areas of the circumferential wall.
