Now which one are you going to have an easier time blowing...A or B?
The answer is A...because B your air get concentrated and you have less space to work with...
A on the other hand flows more freely and exits more smoothly cause less drag...
Right, but I think what Fabrio means is that it abruptly curves upward, which can create turbulence. "Straw A" does not equate to your design:

Straw "C":
______________
____________J

It looks like it would need to be flush with the rear bumper as well -- the air goes upward and gets trapped.
