Skin friction on the inside of the duct would likely steal all of the gain, Probably better to exhaust the front wheel wells like the Viper does. Turbine blade rear wheels could pull air from outside the body across the brakes, and out the low pressure area at the rear of the car, though, again, I don't know if the gain in efficiency at the rear of the car would be more than the power lost sucking the air through the wheels.
