When taking off in the SR22TN with full mixture and 2700rpm, I get an aural warning and red warning on the pfd, that my CHT is too high. Is this normal? I have as a result resorted to taking off at 2500 rpm only and not going full throttle. 
Possibly taking off at 2700rpm and then almost immediately reducing to 2500rpm is the proper way. A little unsure so any advice would be appreciated.

If you are getting an aural warning, then most likely the CHT is too high, (what was the CHT indicating?)

Where did you have the mixture set?

Mixture full rich. RPM 2700. CHT sometimes in the 34-35 range but mostly around 33.5.

If i keep RPM at 2500 at takeoff it works, but then i need a longer runway and i'm not sure it's SOP's.

I'm not a pilot, just a newbie flight sim guy (since late May 2020) who really wants to fly the TorqueSim SR22 "by the book" as they say.  So, I bought a digital version of the Cirrus Flight Operation Manual for the SR22!  Here's a quote from the book about this issue:

“During the first takeoff of the day in an SR22T or SR22TN, due to relatively low engine oil temperature and associated higher oil pressures, engine manifold pressure may exceed limits. This is acceptable, but if this occurs, pilots should smoothly reduce power to bring it back below red-line. In subsequent flights with higher engine oil temperatures, verify that the power lever can be moved to full forward and remain within limits. If not, then the system should be adjusted.

Maybe one of the SR22 pilots can comment further.  I've been reducing power, typically all the way to manifold pressure of 29.5 (it still shows yellow at 29.6).  I've not found a source yet that talks about how far to cut power back (just to yellow or all the way to green).
