Theoretically though, it would work, correct?

Air from the high pressure region in the front would rush to fill the low pressure in the back with little restriction other than surface friction. I guess it would have to be a pretty direct path. I would think this would be even better if it was the radiator duct but then it would have to be insulated in the summer.

I suppose it wouldn't be a huge change but it's an interesting thought experiment.
