The same amount of airflow is being pulled through, and your static pressure would go up meaning the fans actually need to work harder for the same effect.
They would likely perform worse. If (“if”, ha) those fans are not in perfect sync, they’re going to obstruct airflow. Also, consider that each fan introduces both audible noise and perturbations in the airflow which in turn, also will cause noise.
Incidentally, I have (almost) that very same case, an Antec P182. Mine has a super-quiet PSU fan, and a ginormous heat pipe cpu cooler (HR-1 if you’re curious) with one fan … and that is plenty.
Real queation: would putting fans in series like this perform (significantly) better?
No

I know it’s done in servers with high rpm 40mm fans. To create extra static pressure. But it didn’t work with 2x 120mm fan on a aio in my testing.
Probably would only be slightly better, but it would be significantly louder since multiple fans creates significant turbulence.
