I am fully aware that the visualization above is not the actual behaviour when the vehicle is in motion.

The physical orientation of the exhaust (slightly outwards in this case) is something that will probably require some tweaking as it does offset the actual airflow activity.

Anyhow, I am planning another tuft testing session with your proposed idea to try and increase the pressure at the inlet.
