You really aren't giving much information here... and the only definite answer you will get will be found in the looking through your warranty paperwork and/or calling the dealership. If your car is still covered under a bumper to bumper warranty, then the muffler probably will be covered... if you only have a drivetrain warranty remaining, then it probably won't be covered.

Nothing is covered under lifetime warranty except for the interfooler.

Probably not. Here's what the warranty manual says...
That appears to be a warranty for OEM replacement parts that come with Lifetime Warranty. It's like when you go to a parts store and buy brakes, you can get the cheap ones with the one year warranty (normal OEM replacement parts) or you can pay more and get the one with the lifetime warranty (special OEM replacement parts such as this muffler).
Later in the manual this setcion can be found...
Those are probably the "cheap" ones you get as part of the normal OEM replacements.
All of this is described in a special section in the back of the manual, outside the normal 3yr/36K mile section that covers the full car.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW
LONG
Nissan* warrants to correct defects in materials or
workmanship, or for failure due to normal wear and tear, of
all replacement Genuine Nissan Original Equipment
muffler assemblies, Genuine Nissan vehicle suspension
system shock absorbers and strut assemblies
installed on Nissan vehicles only, except as described

I had a similar problem awhile back. I had some janky high flow cats and the catalyst broke up and I guess was pushed back into my muffler. I got test pipes, a Nismo S-Tune exhaust, and called it a day.
