Without a cannibalistic, powered, high-static pressure air-handler, there's a high probability that air will simply flow forwards, from the wake, to the 'inlet.'
To move air passively you'd need a Bauman scoop to harvest stagnation pressure, and the act of harvesting stagnation pressure would increase underbody drag.
The ductwork itself would amplify surface friction, compared to just letting the air flow to the rear along a belly pan, and slow diffuser.
Nothing's been done for pressure regain, which is the ONLY thing that WILL reduce drag.
The Aero Tube is the stuff of the Unicorn Corral.
Just sayin'.
