Fixed that for you.
Heat tolerance is almost entirely up to the resin used to make the shaft. The carbon fibers themselves can withstand relatively high heat with absolutely no issues as long as they're not exposed to open flame.
There are many different resin systems with different heat tolerances and glass transition temperatures, I'm sure that PST has chosen a resin that can withstand the typical temperatures found underneath a car.
