You can fit a stage 3 filter (replaces the LHS airbox cover) alongside the stage 1 inner filter and stage 2 top (snorkel removed). You don not need to replace the airbox to achieve stage 3 on the Z (only on X/R models). I'd just fit the inner filter and top to achieve stage 3 to start with and see how you go. Leave stage 3 till you get bored with what you've got and want more!
Here's a rough guide to XTZ DNA filters (in pictures) which will hopefully make everything a little bit clearer:

= Stage 1

+

= Stage 2

+

+

= Stage 3
Removing the snorkel effectively does the same job as fitting the Stage 2 DNA airbox top.
There is also a restrictor insert you can fit in the Stage 2 top cover to effectively make a Stage 1.5, which would be as far as you could go with out modifying the fuelling to suit by fitting either a Kev Mod or Power Commander.
