Alright, just did a quick recording of the X. Not much to see but plenty to hear!
The sound is pretty close to what I hear except I don't think its quite this raspy - especially if you turn up the volume too much. Listen with the volume kinda low. I say this because when I'm singing karaoke I think I sound great but yet all the dogs in town start howling - so I don't know!
I recorded this with Nikon coolpix S9 camera so probably not the best quality for audio but, eh, got the job done.
I placed the camera right on the bullbar of the ML430 (right about the Xs rear bumper height) and the ML was about 5feet away. I did not floor it. I tried to wait for the idle to go down after startup but didnt want the video to be too long so I revved it with minimal wait.
Not quite as deep as stock but fine for me.
