On my car, pressing the dynamic button, (chequered flag) operates the exhaust flaps though it also changes the suspension. @OzJagXFS will be able to confirm one way or the other.

There were (still are???) three type of exhaust set ups on the F-Type V6 - no active (ie no valves on the exhaust pipes), plain active (no switch on the console to turn the valves on and off and the valves are effectively operated by the Dynamic button/switch) and switchable active (button/switch on console).
I thought all V6 S came with switchable active but it seems not in your case and you have the plain active version. In which case you can use the Dynamic button/switch as a virtual active exhaust button but this would come with the annoyance of switching between Dynamic and Normal settings for throttle response, gearbox response, steering response and suspension.
If you have Configurable Dynamic this would not be so bad as you could configure it so that the suspension stays in Normal mode even if everything else is in Dynamic (this is my set up) as I find the Dynamic suspension mode to be a bit too harsh for normal day to day driving on the crap roads in my area.
However if your car does not have switchable active exhaust it probably does not have Configurable Dynamic either.
My car did not come with Configurable Dynamic but all it takes to turn it on is a tweak of the CCF (Car Configuration File) using SDD, and I had it done by a gentleman who has the requisite equipment, knowledge and experience.

I've perused and yet again read pages 90 and 91 in my 2017 proprietor's manual, and still somewhat confounded. Might somebody at any point convert into American English? Page 91: Note: Dynamic exhaust is consequently chosen when the vehicle is in Unique mode Press the change to connect with the Dynamic exhaust. The switch light enlightens to affirm actuation. Press the switch again to separate the dynamic exhaust framework. The switch light douses to affirm deactivation. Note: Dynamic exhaust is separated toward the beginning of every start cycle. Does that mean when motor turns over at 9am, it's off, and when I change to Dynamic mode, it's auto on, and I don't have to hit that fasten? When I go to lunch at 12pm, motor turns over, Unique mode is as yet auto on (in no less than 6 hours), so dynamic fumes is likewise auto on, and I don't have to hit fasten once more? When I return home at 5pm, is Dynamic mode still auto on, or is the 6 hours auto on is finished? Since Dynamic mode is generally on,active exhaust is dependably on moreover?
