Aerodynamic drag comes in two forms -- Form drag and skin friction. Successful internal ducts are short, with a large cross section.

You could test your proposal by lashing your 'tube' to the outside of the car and placing a [Dwyer] differential manometer inside the openings front and rear and see how much flow you actually get.

You'd want to bell-mouth the front to resist vena contracta.

Do you have a route through the interior that isn't twisted and kinked?

I like the C30 -- lots of plan taper to the cabin.
