Default Zip Tie air filter setup

Does anyone have the Zip Tie air filter setup? If so can you post some pics up? Want to make sure i did it the right way, because i have seen some people that have two filters. Im only using a K&N.

I would be more concerned about getting a good seal to minimize dirt getting into the engine than the marginal HP gain.
Also, cable ties are plastic and deteriorate with heat so they do not last forever, and could break at any time.
Think I would stay with the stock Z06 box with the larger opening, or maybe open up the stock housing a little more.
