There is two models for trumpet the new one and the older model I have the newer one, it is smaller and you can store it in your bell and it should still fit in your case. Ive heard the older one is just as good.
Whenever I use it, 9/10 times I'm just using the mute and not with the system or headphones. So look into other mutes as well that do the same job, but are cheaper without all the electronics. Wallace makes a good one and ive heard the trumcor is really good.
The Silent Brass mutes have been good for me. With the most recent generation it doesn't really feel like there's a mute. There's barely any sound "leakage", and if you put a 3.5mm splitter in, you can easily record.
At just north of $200 they're pricey, but IMO they're worth it. No hassling with finding practice rooms, just play wherever you are. I have the trombone one, but I assume the trumpet will be just as good. Make sure it's the latest generation; there were some issues with earlier ones.
There is always Silent Brass, although I suppose that's not a great long term solution if you're practicing for that amount of time
