That's a cardboard tube inside the carbon fiber. It's for support when wrapping the carbon fiber into a tube. And for sound dampening.

That shaft looks like the ones at work that have failed. The carbon fiber driveshafts at work last about 3~4 years before they come apart.

Factory aluminum driveshafts have the cardboard tube too. I found out the easy way. Rockcrawling with my PowerWagon.
