The only difference is the software, the torque figures are very close.
The F Type S is quicker because of a time tested drag strip technique: if you can't get more torque fit a lower rear end.
The exhaust sound of the base F Type is almost identical to the XF 3.0
The noisy one uses an active exhaust muffler, as does the Corvette for example and no you can't just fit one. It uses electrically controlled baffles to reduce the muffling under some conditions.

The F-Type has a 340hp v6. F-Type S has a 380hp v6 with active exhaust system. And no, it won't fit the XF. The F-Type's exhaust is a single unit, large muffler that is horizontally mounted at the rear of the car. I hope an aftermarket vendor can replicate that sound of the F-Type S model for the XF 3.0. Curious to hear a before and after of the MINA exhaust people are using for their v8's fitted to the v6 XF. I've heard v6 Mustangs fitted with dual performance exhaust designed for the v8, and it makes me want to throw up.

The same effect, more or less, can be obtained by cutting two 2 inch round holes in the muffler can, but then the car will be noisy all the time.
The active exhaust isn't where the additional power comes from, by the time the exhaust gets to the muffler can it is flowing pretty smoothly already.
The F Type S just has a little more boost pressure cranked in at the higher rpm range, and it's mainly paper horsepower. The acceleration difference comes from the differential ratio. The diff's in the diff.
