The fronts might be helped by some flush "rain guards", I'll bet -- this will draw air out of the car, and mybe with less noise than when you just crack the windows?
Yeah Neil,NASCAR puts 'em behind the B-pillars.They get brake-cooling and maybe fuel cell ventilation( dual inlets).Once in,you can duct the air anywhere you like.Jungle helicopter pilots have a bacalava(sp?) they wear under their brain bucket which circulates chilled water to scalp and neck,where blood supply runs close to the surface.If you were to site your outlet near the headrest,you might get max benefit.
