I don't know, something about mixing carbon fiber with hot exhaust gases just doesn't sound right. Can't imagine what these exhaust tips would look like over time.
I've had friends with hitch-mounted bike racks that had their carbon bike wheels crack/explode on them because of the exhaust gases heating up the carbon while driving. Heat and carbon fiber do not mix well.

I had aftermarket diffuser also without any issues.

The entire muffler is CF and this is an 1198cc Ducati L-twin engine making 150hp. It is a high performance bike and it generates a lot of heat.
I’m guessing the issue with the bicycle wheels was related to pressure in the tires due to heat and not the carbon fiber wheels themselves. They make Formula One cars out of this stuff after all.
That said, you get what you pay for. If it’s real CF and it is a quality piece you won’t have any problem with it.
